HC Deb 10 February 1899 vol 66 cc507-8
SIR BARRINGTON SIMEON (Southampton

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War whether he will: consider the necessity for supplying one quick-firing machine gun to each of those Infantry Volunteer Corps whose headquarters are on the coast, or who would be sent to the coast in case of mobilisation?

MR. WYNDHAM

The proposal to supply some of these corps with machine guns is now under consideration.
