HC Deb 31 July 1905 vol 150 cc926-7
MR. T. W. RUSSELL (Tyrone, S.)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether his attention has been called to the military sports which took place at Rush, county Dublin, on Sunday last; whether these sports were held with the consent of the commanding officer; and if such proceedings have the sanction of the War Office.

MR. ARNOLD-FORSTER

The sports in question were held on the date mentioned with the sanction of the general officer concerned. Instructions will, however, be sent to the general officer commanding-in-chief that military sports should not in future be held on a Sunday.
