HC Deb 17 March 1942 vol 378 c1345W
Sir T. Moore

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether he will give instructions for the more frequent appearance of military bands in public, in view of their stimulating effect on the public spirit?

Mr. Sandys

Instructions have already been issued that bands are to play as much as possible, but since most of the units to which they belong are stationed away from the large towns, their public appearances are to some extent limited by transport and petrol restrictions.
