I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War when the Artillery Volunteers will be armed with the Martini rifle?

MR. WOODALL

Twenty-three corps have already been armed with Martini-Henry carbines. The remaining corps will be so armed as soon as the carbines are ready, which will, it is hoped, be during the present financial year.
