VISCOUNT HELMSLEY (Yorkshire, N.R., Thirsk)

To ask the Secretary of State for War whether the school for Yeomanry officers at Netheravon has been abolished; and, if so, on what grounds.

(Answered by Mr. Secretry Haldane.) In September, 1907, it was decided to discontinue the attendance of junior Yeomanry officers of the Cavalry School, Netheravon, and to allow them to qualify for promotion by attachment for one month to a regular cavalry regiment where they have opportunities of learning their duty with troops which they could not do at the cavalry school Refresher courses for senior Yeomanry* officers are still held at the cavalry school.
