§ SIR ARTHUR HAYTER (Walsall)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War, with reference to the supply of horses being always equal to the demand from South Africa, can he state who was responsible for the monthly average demand of 10,000 horses being allowed to fall to 2,000 during October and November, 1900; were the orders to purchase remounts also reduced or stopped at that date; if so, can he state what orders were issued to the Remount Department at that time, and the dates of such orders.
§ MR. BRODRICKWill the right hon. Member kindly refer to my reply to a 1012 similar question put by the hon. Member for North Aberdeen on Thursday, 27th February.†
