HC Deb 24 April 1951 vol 487 cc200-1
34. Mr. Alport

asked the Secretary of State for War why the allocation of 40 mm. Bofors ammunition for use by light anti-aircraft regiments in practice camp this year is smaller than in 1950, in spite of the fact that such units are now responsible for training an increased number of Z reservists.

Mr. Strachey

The hon. Member has been misinformed. The allotment of ammunition to Territorial Army light anti-aircraft regiments for 1951 is considerably higher than the scale for 1950. Regular light anti-aircraft regiments will not take Z reservists to practice camps in 1951 and will receive the same allotment of ammunition as for 1950.
