§ MR. SWIFT MACNEILL (Donegal, S.)To ask the Secretary of State for India whether the troops in the Indian Army or the British Army in India, or any of them, are provided with the Dum-dum bullet which was originally manufactured for the British Army in India, or with any other bullet of an expanding character; and, if the dum-dum bullets and other bullets of an expanding character are no 467 longer supplied to the British Army in India, when did the change take place.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Brodrick.) All Dumdum ammunition now in stock in India is issued for practice only under stringent regulations. The general manufacture of this class of ammunition ceased in 1902.
