HC Deb 04 June 1907 vol 175 c480
*MR. BELLAIRS

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War what has been the cause of recent failures of rifle ammunition; how many rounds of ammunition will have to be withdrawn from issue; and how many cases of cartridges bursting the rifles have occurred this year.

MR. HALDANE

The whole matter is being investigated; and until the investigation is completed and full information obtained, a reply to the Question cannot be furnished.
