§ MR. MARJORIBANKS (Berwickshire)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether he will lay upon the Table of the House the drawings and specifications of the changes made in the Magazine Rifle in the new issue Mark II.?
§ MR. E. STANHOPEThe changes which are contemplated were indicated in general terms in answer to a previous question; but I am quite willing to lay on the Table a more detailed and specific list of the suggested improvements.
§ MR. MARJORIBANKSHow are we to discuss the details of this weapon unless we know what changes have been adopted?
§ MR. E. STANHOPEI have no desire to keep back any information; but, to speak frankly, I do not think the House is competent to settle the details of a question like this.
