§ Mr. Chetwyndasked the Secretary of State for War whether it is intended to hold an Aldershot Tattoo in 1951.
§ Mr. StracheyI regret that it has been necessary to cancel the Aldershot Tattoo which it was proposed to hold in 1951. This decision has been rendered unavoidable by the commitments which the Army will incur during 1951 and, in particular, by the need to complete the new divisions recently announced. The holding of smaller displays during 1951 is unlikely to be affected by this decision.
