HC Deb 22 April 1937 vol 322 c1922
69. Mr. Davidson

asked the Secretary of State for War what steps are being taken to ensure the minimum of inconvenience to the general public during route marches of troops from Maryhill Barracks, Glasgow?

Sir V. Warrender

I am not aware of any complaints from the general public with regard to route marches of troops in Glasgow. On occasions when it seems likely that any inconvenience may result from the marching of troops through the streets, such as interference with traffic, the local police authorities are consulted.

Mr. Davidson

If I provide the hon. Baronet with some complaints from my constituents who have been hustled and pushed during these route marches, will he make inquiries?

Mr. Anstruther-Gray

Is my hon. Friend aware that, far from being an inconvenience, a large section of the public is only too pleased to have the opportunity of watching a good regiment march by?
