HC Deb 28 November 1916 vol 88 cc189-90W
Mr. KING

asked the Attorney-General whether the information concerning the Ochta explosion having been published by two London newspapers on 13th and 15th September, 1015, formed the subject of investigation and report by the Director of Public Prosecutions; if so, whether it was held by the Public Prosecutor and by the Law Officers of the Crown that an offence-had been committed against Regulation No. 18, Defence of the Realm Consolidated Orders; and whether any communications passed between the office and the publisher of these papers on this subject?

Sir FREDERICK SMITH

The information asked for in the first part of the question was supplied by the then Home Secretary in an answer given on 20th September, 1915. I am unable to understand the last part of the question.
