§ MR. W. F. D. SMITH (Strand, Westminster)To ask the Secretary of State for War whether he will state when the issue of machine guns to regiments of the Imperial Yeomanry will be completed; and to how many regiments has the gun been already issued.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Brodrick.) It was not found possible to make provision in the current Estimates for the sum required for the issue of machine guns to all the Imperial Yeomanry. Up to date ten regiments have received guns, and four more are being supplied.
