HC Deb 27 February 1900 vol 79 cc1210-1
MR. YERBURGH

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War whether, as the Chester Rifle Volunteers had last year to do their class firing at Owley Wood, at a cost in railway fares of 1s. 3½d. per man, and this year will have to do their class firing at Altcar, at a cost in railway fares of 1s. 10½d. per man, owing to the Owley Wood range being unsuited for the new tiring course under the new regulations, and as, at Delamere on Crown property and at Burton Point, both of which places arc much more convenient of access from Chester, there are ranges which have been passed by the Inspector of Musketry of the North-Western District, the War Office will take immediate steps to utilise one or both of these ranges.

MR. WYNDHAM

Further inquiry will be made into the proposed ranges.
