§ 8. Mr. MILLSasked the Secretary of State for War whether the ammunition officially served out with Webley revolvers is a soft-nosed leaden bullet without nickel casing; and whether the ammunition regularly served out with Winchester-Scott automatic pistols has a flat apex?
§ Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANSThe ammunition issued for the Webley revolver is the standard pattern all-lead bullet hardened uniformly with antimony which has been used in the Service for many years. As regards the second part of the question, if the hon. Member is referring to the Webley and Scott automatic pistol, the answer is in the negative.
§ Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that these revolver bullets, ordinary soft lead bullets, are actually contrary to the Hague Convention, and that at the beginning of the War they had to be withdrawn from the Royal Naval Service for that reason?
§ Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANSI am not aware that these bullets are those to which the hon. and gallant Member refers.
