HC Deb 02 July 1962 vol 662 cc13-4W
Commander Pursey

asked the Civil Lord of the Admiralty why the Commander-in-Chief, Plymouth, arranged his inspection of H.M.S. "Royal Arthur", Corsham, Wiltshire, for Monday, 4th June, instead of another day, and so caused his Royal Marine Band to travel to Corsham on Sunday, 3rd June, instead of on a normal working day.

Mr. C. Ian Orr-Ewing

To save the time and expense of a double journey by Commander-in-Chief, Plymouth, and the Royal Marine Band. Commander-in-Chief, Plymouth, had already arranged to take the salute at the Wiltshire County British Legion rally on Sunday, 3rd June and the Royal Marine Band had accepted an invitation to play there.
