HC Deb 01 June 1911 vol 26 cc1346-7W
Mr. HUNT

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether, in view of the possibility that the Veteran Reserve may in the near future reach 100,000 or 200,000 men, he can say whether they could be provided immediately with rifles, ammunition, and uniforms to meet a sudden invasion or emergency; if so, from what sources these will be drawn; and what class of rifles would be served out?

Colonel SEELY

I have nothing to add to the reply given to a question put on this subject by the hon. Member on the 21st March. It is not considered desirable to publish any information concerning the reserve stocks of munitions of war.
