HC Deb 01 April 1919 vol 114 c1048
16. Mr. MACMASTER

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he has made any preparations or arrangements for the nation to testify its gratitude for the splendid services rendered by the overseas troops in the War; and whether he will give the public in some of the leading centres of the Kingdom the opportunity of greeting and saluting representative units of these troops before their departure from our shores for their distant homes?

Captain GUEST

I would refer my hon. Friend to my reply to similar questions asked yesterday by the right hon. Member for Deptford, the hon. and gallant Member for Bradford East, and the hon. Member for Devonport, to the effect that the matter is being discussed, and that I hope to make a statement at an early date.
