HC Deb 25 February 1908 vol 184 c1556
MR. LANE-FOX (Yorkshire, W.R., Barkston Ash)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether, in view of the increase of motor traction and the consequent gradual decrease in the number of horses in use in this country, the War Office are taking any, and, if so, what steps to secure the maintenance of the supplies of remounts available for His Majesty's Army.

MR. HALDANE

The whole question of the supply of suitable horses for military purposes is at present being carefully considered by the Board of Agriculture in concert with the War Office.
