§ 7. Sir Irving Alberyasked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that military vehicles taking part in military exercises on Derby Day were impeded in a traffic jam; and what steps were taken to prevent this?
§ Captain MargessonI have seen reports in the Press that vehicles taking part in military exercises were held up by traffic congestion on the roads near Newmarket. No military exercises were in fact held in the Newmarket area on the day in question, and I have been unable to discover any foundation for these reports.
