HC Deb 28 June 1900 vol 84 c1325
LORD WILLOUGHBY DE ERESBY (Lincolnshire, Horncastle)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War if his attention has been called to the fact that there are over 400 men in Her Majesty's Reserve Regiment of Lancers at Ballincollig who have no arms, and, though they have 300 horses, have no bridles or saddles; and that there are over 300 recruits in the regiment learning nothing owing to the want of equipment; and, whether, in view of these facts, he will immediately take stops to arm and equip the regiment or disband it.

*MR. WYNDHAM

The regiment is completely equipped with saddles and bridles, and with all arms except lances, which are being supplied as fast as possible.
