HC Deb 28 June 1909 vol 7 c4
Sir SAMUEL SCOTT

asked the right hon. Gentleman whether the short rifle will be issued to Yeomanry regiments in ample time to train the men in its use before the next annual training; and whether he can give any date on which he proposes to commence the issue of these rifles?

Mr. HALDANE

The issue of the rifles is now being proceeded with, and they will all be issued before the training of 1910.
