HC Deb 25 March 1914 vol 60 c355
19. Mr. JOYNSON-HICKS

asked the Secretary of State for War whether the figures in the official Field Service Pocket Book, 1913, page 245, giving the range of the French field gun at 9,000 yards, Austrian 6,800 yards, Krupp 6,600 yards, and Sweden 7,650 yards, are correct; and, if so, how do they compare with the range of the British field gun?

Mr. BAKER

I would refer the hon. Gentleman to the reply I gave yesterday to a question put to me by the hon. and gallant Member for the Andover Division.

Mr. JOYNSON-HICKS

Does the hon. Gentleman know that that reply in no way answers the question on the Paper, and will the hon. Gentleman find out the reply and let the House have it in due course?

Mr. BAKER

I do not agree with the hon. Member. I think it is an answer.
