"A “significant” piece of information relating to advance warning about the IRA’s Birmingham pub bombings has been sent to the coroner who is considering whether to reopen the inquest into the 1974 atrocity.

Louise Hunt, the senior coroner for Birmingham and Solihull, told a hearing on Thursday that the new material had been sent to her office on 27 April from an undisclosed source.

Hunt said it related to an allegation that the security services had advance notice.

“It’s significant and does raise concerns in relation to potential advanced notice, that’s as much as I can say,” Hunt said."
