HC Deb 12 December 1939 vol 355 c1010
41. Mr. E. Smith

asked the Secretary of State for War whether his attention has been drawn to the fact that salutary drill has been insisted on in France which is not consistent with the assurances given by the Secretary of State in answer to the hon. Member for Stoke during the Debate on the Estimates; and is such drill in accordance with War Office policy?

Sir V. Warrender

Perhaps the hon. Member would give me particulars of what he has in mind by salutary drill.
