HC Deb 31 July 1956 vol 557 cc119-20W
106. Sir H. Studholme

asked the Secretary of State for War the result of his further inquiries into the incidents which led to the placing of an extra guard on the ramparts of the Citadel at Plymouth.

Mr. F. Maclean

Last month complaints were made by members of the public that stones were being thrown from the ramparts of the Citadel at Plymouth. Most of these incidents occurred at weekends, and there was evidence to show that on at least one occasion soldiers were involved. The commanding officer therefore decided to place a guard on the ramparts to stop any repetition of such incidents. There was no further trouble and the guard was discontinued after a fortnight.
