HC Deb 21 October 1908 vol 194 c1137
MR BRIDGEMAN (Shropshire, Oswestry)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War if he can inform the House if any result has come of the consultation between his Department and the Board of Agriculture as to the breeding of horses for the Army.

EARL WINTERTON

In view of the great interest felt in this matter throughout the country, can the right hon. Gentleman explain the unprecedented delay?

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR WAR (Mr. HALDANE,) Haddington

I am aware great interest is felt in this matter. I am afraid that I have nothing at present to add to the information which I have already given to the House on this subject.

MAJOR ANSTRUTHER-GRAY (St. Andrews Burghs)

Is the matter out of the hands of the right hon. Gentleman?

MR. HALDANE

No, Sir.
