§ Mr. LANE-FOXasked the Secretary of State for War whether the Yeomanry will soon be equipped with carbine buckets; whether such equipment can be effected before next spring; and whether he will consider the issuing to them of some weapon for defence in hand-to-hand fighting as soon as this has been done?
§ Mr. HALDANEThe present type of bucket in possession of the Yeomanry is suitable for the short rifle, and it is not intended to issue any other type of bucket to this force. As regards the last part of the question I may refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave him on Tuesday last.
