HC Deb 17 June 1907 vol 176 c146
SIR SAMUEL SCOTT (Marylebone, W.)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War how he proposes to provide squadron leaders for the fourteen Yeomanry squadrons forming the divisional cavalry of the Regular Army.

MR. HALDANE

The whole question of the provision of officers on mobilisation, including the Question put to me, is now being considered by a Committee, and I hope before very long to be in a position to make a statement.

SIR SAMUEL SCOTT

When is the right hon. Gentleman likely to be in a position to make a statement?

MR. HALDANE

The questions before the Committee are of enormous detail, and it would be unwise to attempt to make a premature statement.
