HC Deb 23 July 1951 vol 491 c24W
Mr. E. L. Mallalieu

asked the Secretary of State for War whether his attention has been drawn to the fact that a mammoth fête organised by the Grantham Division Conservative and Unionist Association in June of this year, a corps of drums was provided by the Army Cadet Force; and whether he will prevent this non-party, non-political body being associated with party political functions.

Mr. Strachey

The band in question was supplied by an Army Cadet Force unit without the permission of the appropriate authorities. Steps have been taken to ensure that this does not occur again.
