HC Deb 18 July 1927 vol 209 c21
58. Sir ROBERT SANDERS

asked the Secretary of State for War whether when the two battalions of the brigade of Guards, now stationed in China, come home, he will consider the expediency of sending them home through Canada?

The FINANCIAL SECRETARY to the WAR OFFICE (Commodore Douglas King)

Consideration is being given to the suggestion.

Mr. LOOKER

Will my hon. and gallant Friend also consider the desirability of not sending them through Canada in the height of the winter or in the height of the summer?

Commodore KING

All relevant considerations will be taken into account.

Mr. HURD

Is my hon. and gallant Friend aware that it is a very comfortable journey either in winter or in summer?
