HC Deb 29 March 1955 vol 539 cc10-1W
33. Mr. Ian Harvey

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he will make a statement with regard to the incident which occurred during military exercises in Austria on Friday, 11th March, 1955, when some members of the Middlesex Regiment lost their lives and others were severely injured.

Mr. Head

The Court of Inquiry into the causes of this fire has not yet been completed because some of the men who were injured are still not fit enough to give evidence. I am glad to say that the injured men who were flown home to the Cambridge Hospital, Aldershot, are making satisfactory progress.
