§ MR. REES (Montgomery Boroughs)To ask the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware of the need which exists for establishing a rifle range at Welshpool, an important depot of Auxiliary Forces; and whether he will take action in order to the providing of such, range at the earliest possible date.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Haldane.), The establishment of a rifle range at Welshpool depends upon the provision of suitable manœurving areas in connection with it. These matters are now engaging the attention of the General Officer Commanding in Chief, Western Command. It will not have escaped the observation of my hon. friend that the latter part of his Question involves financial consideration.
