HC Deb 09 June 1882 vol 270 cc652-3
COLONEL O'BEIRNE

asked the Secretary of State for War, Whether he intends to introduce any changes in the organization of the Cavalry at an early date; and, if so, whether the recommendations of the recent Committee on this subject will be adhered to?

SIR ARTHUR HAYTER (for Mr. CHILDERS)

In reply to my hon. and gallant Friend, I have to remind him that the Secretary of State stated, in moving the Estimates, the several alternatives which might be adopted in improving the organization of the Cavalry, and that he hoped to make some proposition to Parliament next year. He sees no reason for anticipating that intention by adopting any of the proposals this Session. The matter is not very urgent, as was explained in the statement of the Secretary of State.
