HC Deb 22 February 1900 vol 79 cc787-8
MR. PATRICK O'BRIEN

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War whether he has any objection to say how many Army veterinary commissions will be offered with increase of horse soldiers, and also how many the Department was short at the outbreak of the present war.

* MR. WYNDHAM

At the outbreak of war there were six vacancies. The number of commissions to be offered in view of the increase in the mounted troops is at present under consideration.
