§ MR. ALLHUSEN (Hackney, Central)To ask the Secretary of State for War whether he will sanction the use of a limited number of motor cycles in lieu of horses for despatch carrying, orderly work, and other purposes
†See page 10331293 by Imperial Yeomanry regiments during their annual training; and, if so, whether the owners will be permitted to draw the equivalent of the existing horse and forage allowances.(Answered by Mr. Secretary Arnold-Forster.) Provided that the proper training of Yeomanry in the use of horses is not in any way interfered with there would not appear to be any objection to the use of a very limited number of motor cycles in the manner suggested. The grant however, of allowances as proposed in the second part of the Question cannot be sanctioned.
