HC Deb 08 December 1925 vol 189 c306W
Mr. MACPHERSON

asked the Secretary of State for War if it is the policy of the War Office to urge Territorial associations to institute rifle practice on Sundays; and is he aware that such a policy arouses resentment in the country?

Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANS

It is not the policy of the War Office to urge Territorial Army associations to institute rifle practice on Sunday, nor is it their policy to discourage it. I do not think it would be popular in every part of Scotland, nor unpopular in every part of England. The local associations know the feeling of their counties.
