HC Deb 27 July 1926 vol 198 c1888
15. Mr. RENNIE SMITH

asked the Secretary of State for War if the Government has been involved in any expenditure in connection with the Royal Tournament at Olympia; and, if so, what amount?

Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANS

The answer is in the negative.

Mr. CAMPBELL

Is it not a fact that this Tournament has given pleasure to thousands of people of all ages and classes?

Sir L. WORTHINGTON - EVANS

Certainly.

Mr. SMITH

is it true that at this Tournament there is a combined display in which troops, artillery and tanks rout out a "Whahdi" stronghold? If so, does the right hon. Gentleman think such an exhibition is in the interest of good patriotism?

Mr. SPEAKER

That does not arise out of the question.
