HC Deb 22 November 1916 vol 87 c1435W
Mr. BYRNE

asked the Secretary of of State for War whether the Government have considered the advisability of serving the troops with the body-shields that are now on exhibition in London; if he will say whether the shields have been tested by the War Office; and, if so, with what result?

Mr. FORSTER

I understand that the question of testing some of the body shields, which are now on sale, is being considered by the Ministry of Munitions.
