HC Deb 16 November 1914 vol 68 c206
77. Mr. HOGGE

asked the Under-Secretary for War why the Brigadier-General Director of Supplies refuses the addresses of military training camps to large commercial firms for military reasons and the location of such camps are allowed to be stated in the military correspondence of the "Times" articles?

Mr. TENNANT

I have not seen the articles referred to in the last part of the question, but I imagine the references to camps were incidental and disconnected, and my hon. Friend will realise that there is a difference in effect between such a reference and the communication of lists of addresses of the various training camps. Perhaps my hon. Friend will draw the attention of the learned Solicitor-General to the articles he has in mind.

Mr. HOGGE

What is the difference of the War Office giving the names of camps to commercial firms and printing them in the Order Paper as they have done today?

Mr. TENNANT

The answer to that would involve a definition of the difference between what is incidental and what is accidental.
