HC Deb 10 February 1899 vol 66 c666
MAJOR RASCH (Essex, S.E.)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War what progress has been made in arming the Horse and Field Batteries with quick-firing guns?

THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR WAR (Mr. G. WYNDHAM,) Dover

Steps have been taken to convert all Horse and Field Batteries to a quick-firing system. The issue of these converted Batteries will commence next month, and be completed with the least possible delay.
