HC Deb 26 April 1920 vol 128 cc818-9
38. Sir PHILIP MAGNUS

asked the Prime Minister whether his attention has been called to a report of an explosion in the munitions factory at Rothenstein, resulting in the death of more than 94 persons; whether he can say what munitions are being made at Rothenstein; and whether the manufacture of such munitions infringes on the Peace Treaty with Germany?

The SECRETARY of STATE for WAR (Mr. Churchill)

My right hon. Friend has asked me to reply. I am mak- ing inquiries into this matter, and will communicate with the hon. and learned Member as soon as possible.
