§ 42. Mr. Biggs-Davisonasked the Secretary of State for Defence what is the present use of the firing range at Shoeburyness.
§ Mr. ReynoldsThe range is used by all three Services, mainly for trials and proof work on ammunition and fuzes, but also on a variety of work on ballistics and target response. The tidal sands of the range are ideal for all work which involves the recovery of rounds and their examination after firing.
