HC Deb 24 June 1904 vol 136 cc1118-9
MR. SWIFT MACNEILL

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 any bullet of an expanding character; and, if bullets of an expanding character are no longer supplied to the British Army in India, when did the change take place.

(Answered by Mr. Secretary Brodrick.) The use of bullets of an expanding character by the troops in India for purposes other than of practice was stopped in 1902.
