HC Deb 11 May 1869 vol 196 c572
GENERAL FORESTER

said, he would beg to ask the Secretary of State for War, What arrangement is contemplated for the purchase of the four Cornetcies of each Regiment of the Household Cavalry on the twelve Cornetcies of those Corps being absorbed?

MR. CARDWELL

said, that the Reserve Fund would, when it was in a slate to do so, be called on to provide the means: and he might take the opportunity of stating that, by a new arrangement of the Estimate, it was intended to bring that Fund more directly tinder the control of the House.
