HC Deb 03 March 1921 vol 138 cc1989-90
17. Captain Viscount CURZON

asked the Chief Secretary whether there was any evidence of the use of incendiary bombs in connection with the burning of Cork; and whether any such bombs are issued to, or are in the possession of any, Forces of the Crown in Ireland?

Sir H. GREENWOOD

The earlier reports which reached me with regard to this matter seemed to indicate that such bombs had been used, but this was not confirmed by later information. No incendiary bombs have at any time been issued to any of the Crown Forces in Ireland.

Mr. DEVLIN

Would the right hon. Gentleman, in order to clear up this and other cognate matters, publish or place on the Table of the House General Strickland's Report?

Mr. MOSLEY

He dare not!
