§ MR. BROMLEY DAVENPORT (Cheshire, Macclesfield)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War, whether he will state how many horses are to be allotted to each battalion of Imperial Yeomanry at Aldershot for training purposes.
1315 I beg also to ask the Secretary of State for War, whether he can state what stabling accommodation is at present available at Aldershot for Imperial Yeomanry horses, and whether he proposes to provide more.
§ MR. BRODRICKThe stabling accommodation available at present for the Imperial Yeomanry is for over 900 horses, and further accommodation for about500 more will be available on the 4th February, when the Mounted Infantry proceed to South Africa. The military authorities consider that 1,200 horses will be sufficient for the proper training of these Yeomanry while at Aldershot. The above-mentioned stabling accommodation will, therefore, be ample. The horses are detailed to the battalions as may be required for the daily training
