§ Mr. FELLasked if any trouble has arisen with the ammunition for the guns at Aldershot, and if a number of shells were recently condemned; and if the cause of the defect has been discovered and arrangements made which will secure the future ammunition from deterioration?
§ Mr. HALDANEAbout eighteen months ago some of the ammunition at Aldershot was found in an unsatisfactory state. No shells were, however, condemned. The cause of the defect has been discovered, and arrangements have been made to secure future supplies from deterioration.
§ Mr. HALDANEAs far as I am aware, that is the last occasion.
