asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that much Army equipment, to take one example Bren-gun carriers, has been manufactured but it not getting distributed to units; what is holding up this distribution; and whether any equipment originally manufactured for the Army in this country is being diverted to other countries?

I am not aware of any delay in distributing Bren gun carriers or other equipment to units. As regards the last part of the question, such equipment has been supplied to other countries.
