HC Deb 30 July 1946 vol 426 c146W
122. Mr. Pritt

asked the Secretary of State for War why, in the draft scheme of his Department for the Post-War Ordnance Exhibition at Bicester, it is proposed that the illuminated plaque at the entrance to Section 2 shall bear an inscription indicating that the recent war was fought by Great Britain and France, joined later by the U.S.A., with no mention of any other Ally; and if he will arrange that the inscription should refer also to the part played by the U.S.S.R.

Mr. Lawson

The draft scheme was only in its early stages and had not been approved or submitted in detail to the War Office. It has now been decided that the exhibition shall not take place.
