§ SIR JOHN COLOMB (Great Yarmouth)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether he can say what action was taken by the War Office on receiving from the Foreign Office information and suggestions from Military Attachés Abroad as to obtaining supplies of horses for South Africa; through what departments, sub departments, or branches of the War Office did the information pass, and what period of time elapsed between their reaching the War Office and their receipt by the Remount Officers charged with the duty of obtaining such horses in the countries concerned.
MR. BBODRICKIt is not customary to give details of action taken on information received from Military Attachés abroad.
