HC Deb 28 September 1944 vol 403 c449W
Sir G. Jeffreys

asked the Secretary of State for War whether our troops in West Africa have had any visits from E.N.S.A. performers; and, if so, can he state the approximate number of such visits.

Sir J. Grigg

E.N.S.A, supply a regular service of concert parties to West Africa, each party consisting on the average of seven members. Earlier in this year the number of parties maintained in the Command was five. This number was temporarily reduced owing to the recent travel restrictions, but I understand that by the beginning of November there should be three parties working in West Africa, to be followed by a fourth. In addition to the provision of concert parties, an individual star performer will shortly visit the Command.
