§ MR. COURTHOPETo ask the Secretary of State for War whether the investigation into the relative efficiency of small-bore bullets of various shapes and patterns, with regard to muzzle velocity, low trajectory, and stopping power, is yet concluded; and whether, as a result of such inquiry, he proposes to adopt for the British service rifle a bullet different from that now in use.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Haldane.) The investigation referred to is not yet completed.
