HC Deb 05 June 1945 vol 411 c721W
Sir J. Nall

asked the Secretary of State for War why a mountain regiment, R.A., has, on return from nearly three years' service in Italy, been located in an inaccessible area of the Scottish Highlands; and if he will consider transferring this regiment to a less remote area, such as North Wales or the Lake District, where amenities can be made available.

Sir J. Grigg

The best training facilities for this unit are in the Scottish Highlands and so it has been sent there. In addition to their disembarkation leave they will have their normal leave entitlement while they are in this country.
