Home Affairs counters claims by munitions expert Ben Remfrey and says the buried ordnance will be dealt with proportionately.
Ben Remfrey, who runs his own consultancy on the safe disposal of munitions and has experience of working in war zones, has been a vocal commentator on the buried Allied bombs.
He called on Guernsey's Home Affairs Committee to employ a specialist firm to trawl the field in the Foulon for the devices.
Three metallic objects were duly found, some 20 plus feet below ground in June this year, using the Alpha Associates machine seen below.
Mr Remfrey says these were in roughly the position he expected, given the intelligence on them which dates back to March 1941, when they were dropped.
He has been pressing for a risk assessment of the ordnance to take place:
"Yes, I'm frustrated. The intrusive survey that took place in June found the ordnance, without doubt, and unfortunately there's been no progress since then."
Ben posted the gist of this on social media and it prompted a speedy response from new Home Affairs president, Deputy Marc Leadbeater.
He counters the claims that nothing has happened and says using a British government contractor to carry out a forthcoming risk assessment of the large weapons has saved the Guernsey taxpayer a five figure sum.
It is not known when the assessment will take place but Home says it's committed to dealing with the buried weapons in a 'timely and proportionate manner.'
