HC Deb 16 October 1940 vol 365 c710W
Mr. Thurtle

asked the Secretary of State for War, if he is making arrangements for troops stationed in Iceland to have a reasonable supply of comforts during their stay in that remote station?

Mr. Eden

Yes, Sir. The troops have been supplied with a very large number of games, gramophones, wireless sets, articles of woollen clothing, books and magazines. A concert party has already been sent and it is hoped that others will follow. A mobile cinema has also been supplied. Arrangements have been made for a daily broadcast programme of one hour's duration especially for the troops.
