HC Deb 01 August 1939 vol 350 c2154
73. Mr. Erskine Hill

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he can make any statement with regard to the provision of Bren guns to second-line Territorial regiments?

Mr. Hore-Belisha

The 104 duplicate infantry battalions now have eight guns each.

Mr. Erskine Hill

While thanking my right hon. Friend for that reply, I should like to ask for his assurance that those figures apply to the Scottish Command as well as to the other Commands?

Mr. Hore-Belisha

I hope so. My information is that they apply to the whole of the 104 infantry battalions.
