HC Deb 04 February 1929 vol 224 c1376
9. Mr. HORE-BELISHA

asked the Under-Secretary of State for India if he has now received the Report with regard to the bombing accident near Peshawar; if he will state why live bombs were used instead of dummies in the bombing practice; and if he will take steps to ensure that in future live bombs are only used in bombing practice over completely isolated districts?

Earl WINTERTON

My Noble Friend has just learnt that the Court of Inquiry has not yet completed its proceedings. At the moment, therefore, I can add nothing to the reply I gave to the hon. Member last Monday.
