§ Mr. Raphael Tuckasked the Secretary of State for Defence (1) if he will institute a full inquiry into the circumstances in which Frank Bonney was able recently to enter the Admiralty unchallenged on two occasions, to remain there for several hours, and to gain access to the roof of the Admiralty and to the roof of the Citadel, where his footprints were found;
280W1964 showing receipts, net ton miles, average receipts for net ton miles and the average length of haul for coal and coke, iron and steel, and other traffic, respectively.
§ Mr. Tom FraserDue to changes in accounting and statistical classifications, figures for iron and steel comparable to those for 1963 and 1964 are not available for the earlier years. The information available is as follows:
(2) by what authority it was stated by the Admiralty that Frank Bonney had been inside the Admiralty for only a short time.
§ Mr. J. P. W. MallalieuA full inquiry into the circumstances was put in hand, with C.I.D. assistance, as soon as Bonney was discovered. This inquiry established that he had not remained inside the building for several hours. When apprehended, Bonney stated that he had been on the roof of the Citadel until daybreak, that 281W is, 6.30 a.m. or so, and this is consistent with the information obtained through our inquiries. He was apprehended at 7.40 a.m. It follows from this that he must have been in the building for only a relatively short time before being apprehended. He had no access to classified information of any kind.
