HC Deb 15 July 1907 vol 178 cc315-6
Major ANSTRUTHER-GRAY

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether he can now state whether it is intended to quarter two cavalry regiments in Scotland; where they are to be quartered; when are the necessary barracks to be commenced; and how long it is estimated it will take to complete them.

MR. HALDANE

I have nothing further to add to the Answer which I gave on the 10th instant to a Question on this subject addressed to me by the hon. Member for South Edinburgh. †

MR. YOUNGER (Ayr Burghs)

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that a distinguished personage recently suggested in Scotland that when the Greys-had departed, the only representative of cavalry in Scotland would be the Captain General of the Royal Archers, and did not the right hon. Gentleman think it desirable promptly to reinforce the noble Duke who occupied that position?

MR. HALDANE

said he was not aware of the statement.

MR. YOUNGER

Where are the Scots Greys now?

MR. HALDANE

At Tidworth.
