HC Deb 12 June 1876 vol 229 c1665
MR. A. BARCLAY

asked the Secretary of State for War, If it is the case that the application of the First Somerset Militia for ammunition to fire a feu de joie on the Queen's birthday was refused, and if there is any objection to state the reason for that refusal?

MR. GATHORNE HARDY,

in reply, said, the regiment had drawn its full supply of ammunition for the year, and under the existing regulations no more could be issued.
