HC Deb 17 May 1933 vol 278 c364W
Mr. D. GRENFELL

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury the expense incurred for the financial years ending 5th April, 1930 to 1933, respectively, by the Royal Air Force naval and army units participating in the Royal Air Force Display, Naval and Military Tournament, Aldershot Tattoo, Tidworth Tattoo, and all similar inhibitions?

Sir P. SASS00N

I have been asked to reply. It would not be practicable to state the expense incurred by Royal Air Force units in participating in such events. I should explain that the Royal Air Force Display, for example, is the culmination of the Royal Air Force training programme for the year, and the extra cost over and above its training aspect does not fall on public funds. The same principle for the allocation of cost applies in the other cases also.
