§ Mr. LESLIE SCOTTasked the Undersecretary of State for War whether he is aware that the Chemico body-shield when worn by soldiers has successfully resisted both bullets and shrapnel and already saved many lives which otherwise would certainly have been lost; whether, if it were included in the Regulation outfit of officers and men, a very large number of casualties would be avoided; and whether the Government will therefore take steps to have it put into universal and immediate use?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONOther forms of body armour have been found more satisfactory, and have consequently been issued in preference to the Chemico body-shield.
