HC Deb 23 February 1899 vol 67 cc274-5
MR. ARNOLD-FORSTER

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War whether it is intended to re-establish a depôt of any kind for the supply of men to cavalry regiments serving abroad; and, if so, on what conditions will such depot be maintained?

MR. WYNDHAM

Regiments in the Colonies draw their men from depots under the system at present in force. The arrangements proposed for regiments in India will be fully explained when the Army Estimates are introduced.

MR. ARNOLD-FORSTER

asked a further Question.

MR. WYNDHAM

There are three depots from which regiments in the Colonies draw men. The subject, however, is too complex to be explained in an answer to a Question.
