HC Deb 05 March 1973 vol 852 c5W
41. Mr Nicholas Edwards

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what steps have been taken to trace the origins of the large quantities of unmarked ammunition washed ashore on the coast of Pembrokeshire and to investigate recent unscheduled boat and aircraft movements off the coast.

Mr. Michael Heseltine

Inquiries made by my Department confirm that this ammunition was lost overboard from the Israeli ship "Galila"en route from the Netherlands to Israel. No other reports have been received of sea or air movements likely to be connected with this ammunition.
