HC Deb 12 July 1939 vol 349 c2266W
Mr. Cartland

asked the Secretary of State for War why foreign eggs are supplied to the officers' mess at Trawsfynydd Camp; and why fresh milk is not supplied to the sergeants' mess?

Sir V. Warrender

I have no information as to the facts in these cases, but the purchase of eggs and milk by officers' and sergeants' messes is entirely a matter for their discretion.

Mr. Cartland

asked the Secretary of State for War whether it is proposed to make a permanent camp at Trawsfynydd, and whether huts will be erected for the use of Territorials who train there?

Sir V. Warrender

There is already a permanent hutted camp at Trawsfynydd which provides accommodation for the personnel who remain there throughout the training season, and includes buildings such as messes, cook-houses and institutes for the troops as a whole. The Regular and Territorial Artillery Regiment which attend the camp for short periods in succession for artillery practice sleep under canvas. There is no proposal to alter these arrangements.
