HC Deb 24 June 1907 vol 176 cc877-8
MR. CROOKS (Woolwich)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War how many rounds of small arm ammunition per rifle we have in reserve.

MR. HALDANE

It would not be in the interests of the public service to give the figures asked for by the hon. Member, but I can assure him that the requirements of the troops have been fully provided for.

MR. BELLAIRS

Is the reserve calculated for a full Expeditionary Force of 167,000 men?

MR. HALDANE

I should think so, but would prefer to have notice of the Question.
