HC Deb 09 October 1941 vol 374 c1141W
Mr. Thorne

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he can give any information in connection with the German long-range guns at Cap Gris Nez; whether the Germans are using a new type of shell; and whether the new shell bursts in midair and scatters shrapnel over a wide area?

Mr. Sandys

I do not consider that it would be in the national interest to make any statement on this subject.
