HC Deb 04 May 1908 vol 187 cc1646-7
MR. ASHLEY

On behalf of the hon. Member for the Rye Division of Sussex, I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War how many converted 15-pounder breech-loading guns have yet been issued to the Territorial Artillery for drill and instructional purposes: and when the necessary limbers, drill ammunition, and handbooks for use with these guns will be provided.

MR. HALDANE

Forty-seven guns have been issued. The limbers are about to be issued. Drill ammunition can be obtained on demand from the local Ordnance Officer. The handbook is in proof stage, and issue will be made as soon as possible.

MR. LEE

Can Members of the House he supplied with copies of the handbook?

MR. HALDANE

No doubt that can be done.
