§ Mr. McNamaraasked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statement on the finding of an unexploded RAF practice bomb in the Willerby Low Road area of Cottingham on Friday 20 November.
§ Mr. WigginIt was reported to the police on Friday 20 November that a bomb had been found in a ditch in Cottingham after which an RAF bomb disposal team arrived promptly on the scene. The bomb was found to be an inert five-year old practice bomb in a rusted state,394W which, in all probability, was washed ashore after being dropped in the sea and certainly not where it was found. The Ministry of Defence takes all reasonable precaution when using practice bombs and there was never any danger to the public or property.
