HC Deb 29 April 1947 vol 436 c209W
97. Mr. Gallacher

asked the Secretary of State for War by whose authority were military policemen employed to direct traffic at Loddiswell during the wedding of an Army officer; whether this was at public expense; and if he will arrange for more useful and necessary employment to he found for such available military policemen in the Fens or helping with the spring sowing.

Mr. Bellenger

Six non-commissioned officers of the bridegroom's own unit volunteered to help direct traffic at this wedding. The wedding was held at two o'clock on a Saturday afternoon and the volunteer non-commissioned officers were giving up their own free time to assist.
