HC Deb 30 March 1908 vol 187 c82
MAJOR ANSTRUTHER-GRAY (St. Andrews Burghs)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether he can now furnish any information as to the result of the conference between the War Office and the Board of Agriculture with regard to an efficient supply of horses for military purposes?

MR. HALDANE

I think I may go so far as to say that the result of the conference has been satisfactory, but I am not at present able to give the House any definite information in regard to the measures which, it is hoped, it may be found practicable to carry out.

MAJOR ANSTRUTHER - GRAY

When does the right hon. Gentleman expect to be able to make a statement on the subject?

MR. HALDANE

The two Departments are in conference on broad principles. I can only say now that communications are passing.
