§ SIR BERKELEY SHEFFIELD (Lancashire, Brigg)To ask the Secretary of State for War how many boxes of ammunition there are waiting in Woolwich Arsenal for repair and overhaul.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Haldane.) It is assumed that the Question refers to boxes for ammunition. A large number are now being repaired, and others will be dealt with during the year as they are required for use. The requirements of these boxes will only mature pro rata as filling work, etc., proceeds during the ensuing twelve months.
