MAJOR ANSTRUTHERGRAY (St. Andrews Burghs)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War what steps are being taken to see if a suitable site for a brigade of cavalry can be obtained in Scotland.
§ MR. VINCENT KENNEDY (Cavan W.)At the same time may I ask the Secretary of State for War whether he is now in a position to state what decision has been arrived at with regard to Lord Rosebery's offer to supply free of charge any land that may be required for the accommodation of the Scottish cavalry.
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR WAR (Mr. HALDANE, Haddington)It is obviously impossible for me to arrive at any decision until some definite materials are before me. When I have these they will be considered without delay in connection with principles of cavalry distribution and training which are being worked out. Possibly what the hon. Member for West Cavan has in his mind in the other part of his Question is the fact that Lord Rosebery and his oldest son not long ago presented the nation with a site for a battery near Dalmeny, very generously refusing to accept any payment for it.
