asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that while the sailing yacht "Noresca" was in the Channel ea6t of Dover on Saturday last she was struck by several bullets which apeared to come from the military rifle range on the cliffs; and whether he proposes to take special precautions to prevent this danger in future?

My attention had not previously been called to this incident. I am having it inquired into, and will communicate the result to the hon. Member as soon as possible.
