HC Deb 28 June 1938 vol 337 c1714
62. Mr. Day

asked the Secretary of State for War the number of persons that visited the military tattoo at Aldershot during the 1938 season, and the particulars of the amounts that charities will receive from same?

Mr. Hore-Belisha

The answer to the first part of the question is about 531,000. I am not yet in a position to answer the second part.

Mr. Day

With reference to the second part, can the Minister say whether the charities also participate in the advertisement revenue?

Mr. Hore-Belisha

They participate in the total sum available.

Mr. Lees-Smith

Can the right hon. Gentleman say what were the total payments made by the public and how many troops were engaged in this entertainment?

Mr. Hore-Belisha

I am not in a position to improvise the answer, but I think I can obtain that information.
