§ MR. DAVID THOMAS (Merthyr Tydvil)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War, whether he can state when the mule battery stationed at Newport will be re-armed with the new design of mountain gun; and if, for the convenience of inspection by Members, he will cause one of the muzzle loaders firing black powder, at present in use, to be placed with the specimens of a similar type at the entrance to the Museum of the Royal United Service Institution in Parliament Street.
LORD STANLEYThe new guns are in process of issue to the Depôt at Newport. Perhaps the hon. Member will refer the second part of his Question to the Institution, as the matter does not rest with the Secretary of State for War.
