HC Deb 16 March 1916 vol 80 c2279W
Mr. GINNELL

asked the Financial Secretary to the War Office if he will state the total cost of the recruiting meeting held in Hyde Park complimentary to Michael O'Leary, V.C.; to whom the principal payments were made; where and under what head an account of this expenditure may be seen; and how many recruits were obtained on that occasion?

Mr. TENNANT

This meeting was organised by the hon. Member for the Scotland Division of Liverpool. The London recruiting authorities had nothing to do with the meeting beyond supplying recruiters.
