Of course, this is a matter for concern, but we do not even know who it was who buried the stuff in this dump in the first place. It may not even have been a British unit. In any event, it was buried outside that part of Dartmoor which is in use for military training. I appreciate the point which the hon. Gentleman has made. I hope that not only hon. Members of this House but everyone else who sees suspicious objects will promptly report their suspicions to the military authorities.
