§ 31. Sir T. Mooreasked the Secretary of State for War whether he has yet devised any effective method of utilising military bands for the escort of troops in London and the provincial centres, whereby soldiers may be inspired during training and civilians encouraged in withstanding the effects of war?
§ Captain MargessonAs my hon. and gallant Friend has been informed, military bands are already being used for the purpose which he has in view, and their opportunities of employment will be greatly extended as a result of a very considerable addition to their free travelling facilities.
§ Sir T. MooreHas my right hon. and gallant Friend himself seen a military band on the streets of London since the war started?
§ Captain MargessonI do not go out a very great deal these days. I hope that during the summer I shall see more military bands than we have been seeing for some time.
