HC Deb 01 August 1939 vol 350 c2195W
Mr. R. Gibson

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether the police have yet been able to trace the sword stolen some two years ago from the Wallace monument at Stirling; and are they still actively seeking the person or persons responsible for the theft?

Mr. Colville

The police have not so far been successful in tracing the sword or detecting the person or persons responsible for the theft, but I am informed that inquiries are still being pursued.
