HC Deb 09 March 1904 vol 131 c566
MR. WEIR

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War if he will explain why an increase of £40,000 in the cost of small-arm and machine-gun ammunition is anticipated for the year 1904–5, as shown under Vote 9, Sub-head C, of the Army Estimates.

*MR. ARNOLD-FORSTER

The difference is due to increase of repayment services which will be found under Subhead M of this vote.
