HC Deb 07 July 1910 vol 18 cc1774-5
Mr. MITCHELL-THOMSON

asked the Under-Secretary for India whether he had received any complaint as to the quality of the ammunition supplied during the last musketry course of the 4th Battalion Worcestershire Regiment; and what was the date of manufacture of the ammunition issued for that course?

Mr. MONTAGU

The Secretary of State has received no complaint or information regarding the ammunition in question.

Mr. MITCHELL-THOMSON

Will the hon. Gentleman take steps to obtain some information in view of the fact that a considerable number of the men who in previous years have been first-class shots this year failed to pass?

Mr. MONTAGU

If my hon. Friend will give me any information he possesses I will only be too happy to make inquiries.
