§ SIR JAMES RANKIN (Herefordshire, Leominster)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War if he can say what is the minimum extent of rifle range which the War Office require as necessary for the formation of a local camp for Militia and Volunteers.
* MR. J. POWELL-WILLIAMS (for Mr. WYNDHAM)For this year's camps 1293 the minimum length of the range between firing point and target is 800 yards for Militia and 600 for Volunteers; but behind the targets in every range a safety zone of land is required, the size of which varies in accordance with the nature of the ground.
