(British Official Wireless.)
(Received November 23, 2 p.m.)
RUGBY, November 22
The Minister for War, Mr. L. HoreBelisha, in the House of Commons, broke the practice of refusing information in cases where the corresponding information is not available for foreign countries in order to counter specific allegations in circulation which he thought were calculated to have an unfortunate effect. After explaining this in reply to a question on the equipment of the Guards Battalions he said, "I am prepared to make an exception and state that of the ten Guards Battalions eight. have had a complete issue of their war establishment, both of Bren guns and of anti-tank rifles."
