§ Mr. Gwynfor Evansasked the Secretary of State for Defence why he authorised the military exercises in which the Lancastrian Brigade were to attack Welsh Nationalist forces; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. ReynoldsThis was a routine exercise arranged at the Lancastrian Brigade Depot, involving 100 junior soldiers. Some were to attempt to capture military equipment defended by the others. As is usual, the two sides were given names. I am sorry if the choice in this case gave offence.
The Welsh Nationalists won.
