§ 18. Mr. Bellengerasked the Secretary of State for War whether minesweeping tanks have been used in the recent operations in Tunisia?
§ Sir J. GriggDevices of many kinds were used to deal with mines, but I am sure my hon. Friend will not wish me to go into details.
§ Mr. BellengerI do not want the right hon. Gentleman to give any information which would be against the public interest, but I should like to ask whether he does not consider that the use of this weapon would have the effect of saving a considerable number of lives, and is this matter well in mind, particularly at the time when we are to open a second front?
§ Sir J. GriggI think the hon. Member can assume that we shall think of that just as quickly as he.
