§ Mr. Thorneasked the Secretary of State for War if he is aware that the German commander of Calais allowed several of his big long-range guns to be fired several times on Dover on Saturday, 30th September, 1944, during the time that the armistice was granted; and what punishment will be meted out to this officer.
§ Mr. A. HendersonMy hon. Friend is misinformed. I understand that the last round was fired on Dover on 26th September. The armistice at Calais lasted, for 24 hours from mid-day on 29th September.
