HC Deb 07 July 1909 vol 7 cc1387-8W
Mr. TIMOTHY DAVIES

asked the Secretary of State for War whether his attention has been drawn to the exhibition of prizes for the London Territorials by private traders; if he is aware that the President of the Association had to beg window space for their exhibition of certain London stores; and whether the War Office would undertake its own advertisement, apart from that of a single trading establishment, by placing at the disposal of the association space in some public building for such exhibitions?

Mr. HALDANE

I presume the hon. Member is referring to the sports held at Shepherd's Bush on the 26th ult. If so, I have no official information on the subject, but I understand that the prizes were privately subscribed for, and that no public funds were expended on these sports. The advertising arrangements were entirely a matter for the association, and the War Office is not concerned.
