§ Mr. Haymanasked the Secretary of State for Defence whether he is aware that the two explosive missiles found on southern Dartmoor near Horn's Cross last October, and immediately reported to Okehampton Battle Camp by the Dartmoor National Park Chief Warden, Mr. A. D. Owen-Evans, were not then removed by the military authorities, and were found still unexploded in the same place on 27th June 1964; and what action he has taken, or is taking, about this delay.
§ Mr. KirkThere is no record of any report from the Dartmoor National Park Chief Warden to the Southern Command Battle Camp last October. It was not until 27th June that we learned of the presence of these missiles, when immediate action was taken to identify and dispose of them. One was a parachute flare and the other a smoke bomb;214W neither was high explosive or lethal. We are discussing with the Dartmoor National Park Committee the drill which should be adopted as regards reporting finds of this nature.
