§ 21. Commander Maitlandasked the Secretary of State for War why he has appointed a full-time warden for the miniature rifle range at Horncastle, Lincolnshire.
§ Mr. ShinwellThe range at Horncastle is a 400 yard range with a miniature range attached. The warden was appointed by the local military authorities to keep it in good condition and prepare for firing practice. I am, however, investigating whether this can be done in some more economical way.
§ Commander MaitlandIs the Minister aware that there was no warden before the war, and will he ensure that economy is made in this matter?
§ Mr. ShinwellThat is precisely what I wish to investigate.
