HC Deb 08 May 1907 vol 174 cc208-9
MR. COURTHOPE

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War by what date it is expected that the conversion of the 44,000 rifles for which a sum has been taken in the Estimates for 1907–8 will be completed.

MR. HALDANE

It is hoped to complete the conversion of these rifles by the end of the financial year.
