North Yorkshire’s Deputy Chief Constable Frank Morritt describes to Charlotte Nicholls the discovery of a cache of guns, ammunition and Semtex explosives in woodland in Scarborough just ahead of a Conservative Party Conference. He cannot eliminate a terrorist connection nor is there enough evidence to prove that it was the IRA. For Billboard programme.
