HC Deb 30 June 1931 vol 254 c1049
29. Commander SOUTHBY (for Mr. BEAUMONT)

asked the Secretary of State for War whether it is his policy always to send Territorial artillery units to the same camps to practise shooting; and whether he has considered the advantages of training that would accrue from varying the camps to which each individual unit is sent from year to year, thus giving each unit a chance of manoeuvring over different country and under different conditions?

Mr. SHAW

Artillery units of the Territorial Army undergo shooting training at camp every other year, and considerations of expense often confine them to the nearest camp. But, in the intervening years, such units go to ordinary training camps, and it is seldom that a unit goes to the same training camp twice in succession.
