HC Deb 05 July 1906 vol 160 cc210-1
SIR. CARNE RASCH

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that the cavalry regiment recently ordered out to Cairo found on i its arrival there that the cavalry barracks were in the possession of an infantry regiment, thus necessitating the occupation of the vacant infantry barracks by i the cavalry regiment and the separation of the officers and men from their horses, to the discomfort and inconvenience of the regiment; and whether he will take such steps as will ensure that the cavalry regiment in question shall have the 'use of its own quarters at as early a date as possible.

MR. HALDANE

The General Officer Commanding is responsible for the distribution of the troops in the various barracks in his command. Inquiries on the point will be made.
