HC Deb 01 August 1939 vol 350 c2200W
Mr. Malcolm MacMillan

asked the Secretary of State for War to what extent anti-tank practice and instruction comes into the training of coastal defence units; and whether he will encourage full-time specialisation in anti-aircraft and actual coastal defence training, especially for the North-East, West and North Coasts?

Mr. Hore-Belisha

Anti-tank practice and instruction forms no part of the training of coast defence units; they and anti-aircraft units specialise fully in coast defence and anti-aircraft training, respectively.
