HC Deb 08 July 1953 vol 517 c1219
7. Major Anstruther-Gray

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Defence how many members of the Government visited the Imperial Defence College during the last 12 months for the purpose of lecturing on the work of their Departments.

Mr. Birch

Eight, Sir.

Major Anstruther-Gray

In thanking my hon. Friend for that reply, may I ask him to bear in mind that the Ministers themselves will find these visits very instructive, and will he encourage them wherever possible?

Mr. Birch

I hope the instruction is mutual.

Mr. Hale

If the Ministers for the Co-ordination of something or other are numbered among the eight, could we have copies of their addresses, because we all want to know what they do?

Mr. Birch

Lectures given to I.D.C. are confidential.
