HC Deb 25 April 1929 vol 227 c1076W
Mr. TAYLOR

asked the Secretary of State for War whether officers and men serving in His Majesty's Territorial Forces are entitled to attend and take part in political meetings in uniform; and the terms of the King's Regulations which govern their position?

Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANS

Territorials when not embodied are governed by the Regulations for the Territorial Army. Under those Regulations, when not training in camp, they are not allowed to take part in or attend any political meetings or demonstrations in uniform. When training in camp they are forbidden to institute meetings or to institute or take part in demonstrations for party or political purposes in barracks, quarters, camps or their vicinity.
