HC Deb 25 February 1901 vol 89 c1021
MR. PHILIPPS (Pembrokeshire)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether he has official information to show that many of the Argentine horses that have been unfavourably reported on by the military authorities in South Africa were bought for less than £7 apiece.

LORD STANLEY

As I have already explained to the House, I cannot give any information as to the prices paid for horses while purchases are still being made.
