HC Deb 27 February 1912 vol 34 c1166
MARQUESS of TULLIBARDINE

asked how much money was allocated in last year's Estimates for military manœuvres; how much was spent on manœuvres; and how was the balance disposed of?

Mr. TENNANT

The amount provided in Estimates 1911–12 for field training and manœuvres was £250,000, of which about £100,000 will be spent within the year. I am unable to separate the expenditure on different forms of training; but the main Army manœuvres contemplated in 1911 were not held. The balance became available for Army purposes generally.

MARQUESS of TULLIBARDINE

May I ask if any of the balance was spent on the strike fund?

Mr. TENNANT

Yes, undoubtedly.
