HC Deb 18 November 1919 vol 121 cc790-1
26. Mr. BR1ANT

asked the Secretary of State for War if he is aware that Major P. A. Denison has been organising sweepstakes at Lille, one of which has distributed £40,981 in prizes, leaving a balance of £4,019 undistributed; and whether he can issue any instruction so that officers whilst on service should not be associated with the management of sweepstakes or similar undertakings?

Mr. CHURCHILL

I am inquiring into this matter, and will write to my hon. Friend later.
