HC Deb 13 March 1899 vol 68 c526
MAJOR RASCH

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War if he can state whether the 10 new field batteries will be formed by reducing the 20 six-gun batteries to a strength of four guns?

MR. WYNDHAM

There are 59 field batteries on the six-gun establishment —46 abroad and 13 at home. None of these will be reduced in order to form the four-gun batteries.
