§ 44. Mr. Stokesasked the Secretary of State for War to what extent the absence of a British tank equal in gun-power to the 1862 German "Tiger" has had a deleterious effect on the fighting at the bridgehead; and what steps he proposes to take to repair this defect.
Sir J. GriģģI do not accept the implication contained in the Question, but it would certainly not be in the public interest to give any information about the weapons used in operations which are still in progress, and still less about weapons we may use in the future.
§ Mr. StokesHas the right hon. Gentleman received any representation from people on the spot that a tank equal to the "Tiger" or "Ferdinand" is really very necessary?
