§ MAJOR SEELY (Isle of Wight)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War when it is proposed to make a grant to rifle clubs as foreshadowed in his speech last session; and what will be the amount of such grant.
§ MR. BROMLEY DAVENPORTIt is not possible to give any grant to rifle clubs at present, nor am I in a position to state when it is probable that financial considerations will admit of such a grant being made.
§ MAJOR SEELYMay I point out that a grant was definitely promised, and many rifle clubs find it very difficult to make both ends meet.
§ MR. BROMLEY DAVENPORTI do not quite admit that the promise was definite.
