§ VISCOUNT CASTLEREAGH (Maidstone)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War what progress has been made with the conversion of the field gun which is to be placed in the hands of the Volunteers; how many guns have been completed; and under what head of the Estimates does the cost of conversion appear.
§ * MR. HALDANEThe trials are not yet completed. Alterations of the trial gun were found to be necessary and are 1231 now in hand. Moreover a good deal of organisation is essential before the guns could be used.
