HC Deb 11 March 1942 vol 378 cc1073-4W
Mr. J. Dugdale

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether the War Office were invited to send a representative to the Red Army Meeting at the Stoll Theatre on 22nd February, at which representatives of a number of Allied military commands were present; and whether a representative was sent?

Major Henderson

The War Office did not accept the invitation to the function referred to by the hon. Member because it is not customary for the Department to be officially represented at privately organized functions.
