§ MAJOR NOLANasked the Secretary of State for War, If preparations are being made to arm any portion of the Army with magazine rifles, or with adjustable magazines to facilitate loading; and, if not, is this a question which will be categorically submitted to the new Ordnance Committee?
§ MR. CHILDERSIn reply to the hon. and gallant Gentleman, I have to state that the question of magazine rifles has been for some time under the consideration of a Special Committee, which is not one of those to be superseded by the Ordnance Committee. That Committee will not deal with small arms.
