§ MR. LANE-FOX (Yorkshire, W.R., Barkston Ash)To ask the Secretary of State for War whether any, and, if so, what steps have been taken to improve the supply and the quality of remounts for the troops in South Africa.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Haldane.) 216 horses were sent out from England and Canada last year, and arrangements are being made to supply 1,000 from overseas this year. This is the only method of supply at present available, but it is understood that the Orange River Colony is taking action in the 365 matter of breeding horses in South Africa.
