81. Lieut.-Commander Hutchisonasked the Minister of Supply whether he is aware that the Edinburgh and Midlothian Association of Miniature Rifle Clubs has recently suffered a 50 per cent. reduction in the supply of.22 ammunition, which is seriously impeding the activities of clubs in the district; and whether, in view of the desirability of encouraging this form of recreation, he will take steps to increase the supply of small bore ammunition to the association.
§ Mr. J. JonesThe National Small Bore Rifle Association have recently received additional supplies of.22 ammunition. The manufacturers expect to be able to maintain for the rest of the year a rate of supply broadly sufficient to meet the stated requirements of the National Association for the use of the rifle clubs.
