HC Deb 21 February 1978 vol 944 c553W
30. Mr. Ridley

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what are the rules governing the attendance of hon. Members at military functions.

Mr. Mulley

While there are departmental guidelines on visits by hon. Members to defence establishments, it is not the intention to impose restrictions in regard to participation in social functions given by the Services, unless political activity is involved.
