HC Deb 20 July 1931 vol 255 cc1064-5
67. Sir ERNEST BENNETT

asked the Secretary of State for War whether, in the interests of international good will, he will now cause the removal of all pieces of captured or surrendered enemy artillery or tanks from the Wellington Barracks parade ground and other open spaces under the control of his Department?

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

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply which I gave on 1st April, 1930, to a similar question addressed to me by my hon. Friend the Member for Salford, North (Mr. Tillett).

Sir E. BENNETT

Is the right hon. Gentleman not aware that a considerable number of local authorities have already scrapped these guns?

Captain EDEN

On the same principle, will the right hon. Gentleman rename Trafalgar Square and Waterloo station?
