HC Deb 03 June 1907 vol 175 c291
COLONEL WALKER (Lancashire, Widnes)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War what provision has been made for the practice of the field batteries of the proposed Territorial Army; what ranges have been secured; and what sum has been set aside for the purpose of securing such ranges.

MR. HALDANE

This Question is premature. Inquiries as regards ranges are in progress, but it is too soon at the present stage to make definite arrangements.

COLONEL WALKER

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether any calculation has been made as to the amount of ammunition to be expended by the field batteries of the proposed Territorial Army; and what number of rounds per battery will be expended.

MR. HALDANE

The question of allotment of ammunition for annual practice to these batteries is now being considered.
