HC Deb 21 August 1940 vol 364 cc1323-4W
Major Milner

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware of the shortage of 22 ammunition for use in miniature rifle ranges and shooting galleries, the use of which is much in request by all ranks of His Majesty's Forces, including the Home Guard; and whether he will take immediate steps to increase supplies to such ranges and galleries?

Mr. Eden

Distribution of 22 ammunition is made on apro rata basis to units and formations of His Majesty's Forces, including the Home Guard. I regret that stocks are not available for issue to miniature ranges and shooting galleries open to the general public.
