§ 79. Mr. Goughasked the Secretary of State for War to what extent the troops in Malaya are issued with flame throwers; and whether this equipment is up to date and satisfactory.
§ Mr. HeadTwo types of flame thrower are in use in Malaya. One is carried by the man operating it and the other is used from a vehicle. Stocks of these equipments are adequate. Both types are up to date, and I think that their performance is unsurpassed by similar equipments used by other armies.
