§ MR. ASHLEYI beg to ask the Secretary of State for War what will be the whole establishment of guns of the proposed Territorial artillery, and what will be their dates and patterns.
§ MR. HALDANEIt is proposed to organise the Territorial divisions on lines similar to those of the Regular Army with, in addition, a few batteries of mountain artillery and possibly some siege artillery. The exact detail of numbers has not yet been settled. The field gun will be the 15-pounder recently in the possession of the Royal Field Artillery; the heavy gun will be the 4.7-inch quick firing gun already in the hands of some Volunteer corps.
§ MR. ASHLEYIs it intended to convert the field guns?
§ MR. HALDANEYes, Sir.
