HC Deb 20 June 1901 vol 95 c893
MR. NORMAN (Wolverhampton, S.)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether an automatic rifle has been issued for experimental purposes; if so, will he state the name of this rifle, and how many have been issued, and will he afford Members of Parliament an opportunity of inspecting the new arm.

MR. BRODRICK

The reply to the question is in the negative.
