HC Deb 03 June 1943 vol 390 cc348-9
28. Mr. Thorne

asked the Home Secretary whether he can give any information about the explosion at the junction of Dean Street and Romilly Street on the night of 29th May; what amount of damage was done; if any people were injured; and what was the cause of the explosion?

Mr. H. Morrison

I am informed that this incident is the subject of a criminal charge, the trial of which is pending. In these circumstances all I can properly say is that the damage was not extensive and that happily nobody was injured.

Mr. Thorne

Who is prosecuting in the matter?

Mr. Morrison

I am afraid I cannot say without notice.
