18. Captain FABERasked whether the Field Service Pocket Book of 1913, page. 245, is correct in stating that the range of the French field gun is 9,000 yards; and whether the ranges of Austria, Holland, and Sweden are 6,800, 6,600, and 7,650, respectively
§ Colonel SEELYAs far as the information in my possession goes the figures quoted represent, approximately, the 175 extreme ranges. The corresponding range of the English field gun is about 9,000 yards.
Captain FABERWill the right hon. Gentleman tell me which is the accurate reply—that which he has just read or the reply of the week before last, which is totally different?
§ Colonel SEELYBoth replies are accurate.
Captain FABERIs there no difference between 6,200, as stated the week before last, and 9,000, as stated now?
§ Colonel SEELYIf the hon. and gallant Member will look at the questions asked and the answers given he will find that there is no discrepancy.
§ Mr. SPEAKERThe hon. Member cannot enter into a debate at Question Time.
