HC Deb 30 November 1937 vol 329 cc1858-9
14. Major Whiteley

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that Territorial Army competitions such as the King's Cup for artillery tend to cause over-specialisation at the expense of a more desirable general training; and whether he will consider the modification of the conditions and conduct of such competitions with a view to eliminating this tendency?

Mr. Hore-Belisha

The intention is to give units training in the duties they have to perform in war, but if my hon. and gallant Friend has any considered suggestions to make, I shall be glad to consider them.
