§ 54. Sir Frank Sandersonasked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that a travelling bag, containing secret anti-aircraft plans for which Scot land Yard had been hunting for 24 hours, Was handed in to Bow Street Police Station on Sunday night by a man who was unaware of the importance of its contents; that the bag belonged to a young officer who discovered his loss whilst staying in London on Saturday on his way to Somerset; and what action he proposes to take in the matter?
§ The Financial Secretary to the War Office (Sir Victor Warrender)Inquiries are not yet completed, but I am informed that the officer was a Territorial who was returning from an elementary anti-aircraft course at Biggin Hill. The bag in question was in his car, which was stolen in London. The bag contained some précis, not of a secret nature, and the notes taken by the officer.
