§ SIR SAMUEL SCOTT (Marylebone, W.)To ask the Secretary of State for War what number of the 538 cavalry officer's shown in the Return recently issued to Parliament are actually employed with their regiments; how many are on the seconded list or employed on duty away from their regiments; and whether in calculating the shortage of cavalry officers in the Regular Army, no deduction has been made for officers seconded or emlployed away from their regiments.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Haldane.) The figures in question, which should read 536, did not include any officers seconded or extra regimentally employed.
