§ Sir J. Lucasasked the Secretary of State for War whether donors of 12-bore cartridges, in response to the wireless appeal, will receive priority in the event of a continued shortage of such ammunition should it be necessary for them to replenish their own supplies in order to keep down rabbits and vermin, or for food production purposes; and whether he will make it clear that the gift or surrender is unconditional, should this be the case?
§ Mr. EdenGifts of 12-bore cartridges must be unconditional, and it is not expected that such cartridges should be offered if they are required for other essential purposes.
