§ Mr. Lewisasked the Secretary of State for War, whether he is aware that rifle clubs are unable to obtain the necessary ammunition to train new members who wish to be taught to shoot and, having regard to the national importance of this matter, will he make arrangements for ammunition to be available for any clubs vouched for by the Society of Miniature Rifle Clubs?
Major Millsasked the Secretary of State for War, whether rifle clubs can be allowed to share, by purchase, in future supplies of 22 long rifle cartridges, as such clubs have been generous and helpful in putting their rifle ranges and stocks of 22 ammunition at the disposal of the Home Guard for training purposes and their ammunition is now exhausted.
§ Sir E. GriggAll 22 ammunition is, at present, required for His Majesty's Forces including the Home Guard, but an allotment has been made to replace ammunition provided by rifle clubs for training the Home Guard, and further supplies will he released for these clubs as soon as sufficient stocks are available.
