HC Deb 08 December 1953 vol 521 c221W
100. Mr. Chetwynd

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Defence why the Belgian light automatic rifle known as the F.N. has been adopted as the new standard rifle for the British Army and other North Atlantic Treaty Organisation Forces.

Mr. Birch

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply which my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister gave to the hon. Member for Aston (Mr. Wyatt) on 26th November, to which I have nothing to add.
