HC Deb 28 June 1880 vol 253 c967
LORD EUSTACE CECIL

asked the Secretary of State for War, Whether he can lay upon the Table any information respecting the experiments which it is understood have been recently carried on in Austria and Germany with magazine and repeating arms; and, if not, if he will call for reports upon the subject, with a view to their publication?

MR. CHILDERS

In reply to my noble Friend, I have to say that the information respecting these experiments now before the Office is very imperfect. When I receive fuller details I will consider whether they can be laid on the Table.
