HC Deb 23 February 1966 vol 725 c105W
113. Mr. Dodds-Parker

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what circumstances, leading to the drowning of an army cadet, Griffith Bullton, at Windsor on 12th February, 1966, allowed cadets to be practising in the flooded river with out adequate supervision and without wearing life-jackets.

Mr. Reynolds

Two boy soldiers of the Junior Leaders Regiment, Royal Engineers, died when their canoes overturned. I should like to express my deep sympathy to the boys' relatives. I would not, however, wish to say more at this stage as neither body has been recovered nor has a coroner's inquiry been held.
