§ Sir R. YOUNGasked the Secretary of State for War, what were the receipts and expenses incurred in connection with the recent military tattoo at Aldershot; how is the profit balance, if any, allocated; and what charitable and other institutions benefit?
Mr. COOPERA statement of accounts in respect of the recent Aldershot Tattoo, which ended only on Saturday last, will not be available until October, when perhaps the hon. Member will put down a further question. I would explain, however, that no expense falls on public funds in connection with this display, and accordingly the allocation of profits is left entirely in the hands of the trustees. They are, in point of fact, always distributed to Service charities in the area from which the troops taking part in the tattoo are drawn.
