§ 35. Sir A. MARKHAMasked the Minister of Munitions whether he is aware that during the end of last month and the beginning of this month a number of casualties were caused on the Western frontier by rifle grenades; whether he is aware that the Germans appear to have had an unlimited supply of these grenades, while our supply was strictly 807 Limited; and will he say when the importance of having large supplies of rifle grenades was first brought to his notice by the War Office?
§ Dr. ADDISONThe importance of this matter is fully appreciated, but it would be contrary to the public interest to enter into details with regard to the supply of rifle grenades.
§ Sir A. MARKHAMWhy have we not got enough?
§ Dr. ADDISONThere are a good many different kinds to be dealt with, which ought not to be considered in public discussion.
