asked the Secretary of State for War whether serving sailors, soldiers, or airmen take part in the Royal Tournament: whether the Royal Tournament has any other official sanction; whether any balance-sheet is issued to persons other than members of the Committee; whether any serving officers serve on the Committee: and whether he can see his way to decline official connection with the Royal Tournament until a properly audited balance-sheet is published?

The answers to the first. second and fourth parts of the question are in the affirmative, and to the third and last parts in the negative.
