Sales of Converted Rifles to Rifle Clubs.

HC Deb 30 April 1908 vol 187 cc1378-9

CAPTAIN FABER

To ask the Secretary of State for War whether the War Office is converting rifles to the 22 size and selling them indirectly through civilian rifle clubs; and whether he will consider the desirability of preventing such competition with legitimate traders, seeing that the rifle clubs are civilian.

(Answered by Mr. Secretary Haldane.)

The reply is in the negative.
