§ 39. Mr. DEANasked the Secretary of State for War whether the annual training camp of the Sherwood Foresters Brigade, 46th North Midland Division, is to be held at Redcar and, if so, why is the 138th Brigade (Lincoln and Leicester) not allowed to proceed to camp at Rhyl, which was also arranged to take place after 15th July?
§ The SECRETARY of STATE for WAR (Sir Laming Worthington-Evans)The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. The training of the Regular Army this year has been kept within the limits of commands, and the same principle, when it could be made effective, has been applied to the Territorial Army. The 138th Brigade is not proceeding to Rhyl, which is outside the 1144 command and at a distance considered to be excessive in view of the restriction on traffic facilities.
§ Mr. SPEAKERWritten questions should be handed in.
