§ Mr. Sextonasked the Secretary of State for War (1) whether he will prohibit the use of Army vehicles and petrol in game shooting, and thus prevent public money being used to subsidise private sport, while at the same time assisting to conserve petrol;
(2) who authorised the use of Army lorry No. 4452632 for a shooting expedition on Wheeldale Moor, near Whitby, on Saturday 8th November, 1941, a standstill day so far as use of Army petrol is concerned; what was the amount of damage done to the vehicle; and who paid for the repair or replacement of damaged parts?
§ Captain MargessonThe use of Army vehicles for private purposes is, of course, strictly forbidden. As regards the particular case to which my hon. Friend refers, I have called for an immediate report and will communicate with my hon. Friend as soon as the required information is available.
