HC Deb 19 July 1912 vol 41 c698W
Viscount WOLMER

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether the police have any information with the regard to the discovery of a bomb in his study; and whether he can make any statement on the subject?

Mr. McKENNA

No, Sir. I think this story must have been derived from the fact that the housemaid, while dusting the room, found two small paper vessels containing an inflammable, but not explosive mixture. Whether they were placed there with a serious intention of arson I am unable to say.
