HC Deb 14 July 1964 vol 698 c211W
Mrs. Braddock

asked the Secretary of State for Defence why the 5th Battalion The King's Regiment was sent to Scotland, not far from Aberdeen, for their annual territorial camp during the typhoid epidemic in that area.

Mr. Ramsden

The 5th Battalion The King's Regiment (T.A.) was allowed to attend annual camp at Monifieth in Scotland from 13th to 27th June as planned because, after consultation with the military medical advisers and the local health authorities, it was considered safe for it to do so. Monifieth is about 50 miles from Aberdeen.
