§ MR. JACOBY (Derbyshire, Mid)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether there is any truth in the statement that "coffin" targets are to be discontinued; and, if so, whether he will sanction the use of Wimbledon targets this year for class firing by the Reserve Forces?
§ MR. E. STANHOPEThe use of the so-called "coffin" targets will be discontinued, and regulations are in preparation for introducing the Wimbledon marking for use by the Regular Forces. The Musketry Committee has recommended changes based on like conditions for the Auxiliary Forces, but before they are adopted the proposal will have to receive very careful consideration.
