HC Deb 01 April 1930 vol 237 c1069
41. Mr. DAY

asked the Secretary of State for War whether there is any existing arrangement between the War Office and the Performing Rights Society for the performance of copyright music by the bands of His Majesty's Army; and, if so, will he give particulars?

The SECRETARY of STATE for WAR (Mr. T. Shaw)

The answer to the first part of the question is in the negative and the second part, therefore, does not arise.

Mr. DAY

Have any representations been made to the right hon. Gentleman, and why is it that the Territorial Force has to pay for those rights?

Mr. SHAW

I have had no representations on that matter.
