HC Deb 06 July 1908 vol 191 c1230
MAJOR ANSTRUTHER-GRAY (St. Andrews Burghs)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether he can now give any information with regard to the new pattern cavalry sword; and how soon the cavalry will be armed with it.

MR. HALDANE

The new pattern has just been approved and manufacture will at once be proceeded with, but no statement can yet be made as to the date when the cavalry will be re-armed with the new weapon.

MR. ARTHUR LEE

I hope they will be manufactured with all possible speed.
