HC Deb 03 August 1939 vol 350 c2678W
Mr. Kirby

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that the 8th Battalion Royal Tank Regiment, and other units of the corps, are under equipped in tanks and other vehicles; is this deficiency general throughout the tank battalions; will he give the matter his immediate attention; and can he state when such units are likely to be fully equipped?

Sir V. Warrender

It would be most undesirable to disclose details of equipment which other Powers invariably keep secret.
