HC Deb 03 February 1942 vol 377 cc1065-6W
Colonel Ponsonby

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he has any statement to make as to the assistance he has received from the Society of Miniature Rifle Clubs?

Captain Margesson

I am glad to have this opportunity of expressing my appreciation of the valuable assistance rendered by the Society of Miniature Rifle Clubs to both the Regular and Territorial Armies ever since its formation in toot. In particular, ranges and equipment have been lent to Field Army and training units. Very close liaison has been maintained with Home Guard units and arrangements have been made for the use of Society of Miniature Rifle Clubs rifles by the Home Guard in the event of invasion.
