HC Deb 12 November 1940 vol 365 c1598W
Mr. Silkin

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware of the delay, amounting in some cases to five weeks, in disposing of time-bombs in residential areas causing hardship to persons affected, who are thus rendered homeless; and whether, by the employment of additional units of the Royal Engineers, or otherwise, he will take steps to expedite the disposal of time-bombs?

Mr. Eden

My hon. Friend has been invited to call at the War Office to discuss this question, and I understand that he has accepted the invitation.
