HC Deb 28 April 1898 vol 56 cc1365-6
MR. A. M. BROOKFIELD (Sussex, Rye)

On behalf of the honourable and gallant Member for South St. Pancras, I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War whether it is proposed to send to the manœuvres any horses under the age of six years; and whether he could state what number of cavalry horses in the United Kingdom are under that age?

MR. BRODRICK

It is not proposed to send to the manœuvres any horses under the ago of six years. The number of cavalry horses in the United Kingdom under that ago will, it is anticipated, be, on the 1st May, 1,370.
