§ SIR ANDREW AGNEW (Edinburgh, S.)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War if he can now state whether any of the guns belonging to ships recently discarded by the Admiralty can be made available for garrison artillery Volunteers; and, if so, whether he will give a preference to those Volunteer companies that still have nothing but muzzle-loading 64-pounder guns to drill with.
§ MR. ARNOLD FORSTERI am not at present in a position to add anything to the reply which I gave to a Question put on this subject by my hon. friend on the 29th May‡ ‡ See (4) Debates, cxlvii., 78.
§ SIR ANDREW AGNEWMay I ask for an Answer to the last part of my Question.
§ MR. ARNOLD-FORSTERIt must depend on military requirements.
