HC Deb 30 July 1907 vol 179 c753
Viscount TURNOUR (Sussex, Horsham)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether the horses of the 2nd Dragoons (Royal Scots Greys) are at present picketed; and whether it is intended that they shall remain picketed throughout the winter.

MR. HALDANE

The horses of the Scots Greys, with the exception of those of the squadron at Dorchester, are at present picketed. The reply to the rest of the Question is in the negative.

VISCOUNT TURNOUR

asked where it was proposed to put the new buildings.

[The reply was inaudible.]

*CAPTAIN FABER

Have the new stables been begun?

MR. HALDANE

I have every reason to believe that a beginning will be made this week.

*Captain FABER

Can the right hon. Gentleman give me the name of the contractor?

MR. HALDANE

That has been settled and I hope to report progress this week.
