HC Deb 16 June 1902 vol 109 c695
MR. ALFRED DAVIES (Carmarthen Boroughs)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War if he will inform the House whether he intends to sell or return to England the horses and other animals used during the recent war; and, if so, will he state the ground upon which his action is taken.

MR. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN (for Mr. BRODRICK)

The disposal of the horses and other animals is at present being carefully considered, and my right hon. friend is not in a position, therefore, to reply to the Question.

MR. ALFRED DAVIES

But are not horses already being returned by the transports?

MR. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN

I must ask for notice of that.
