HC Deb 18 May 1908 vol 188 c1638
MAJOR RENTON (Lincolnshire, Gainsborough)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War if the Imperial Yeomanry during their annual training are expected to practise marching past, or any ceremonial and parade movements, to the exclusion of more practical exercises.

MR. HALDANE

It is intended that the training carried out in camp should be of a progressive nature and more advanced than that carried out during drills, as much time as possible being devoted to squadron training and field operations. The training should be confined wholly to such elements as are essential to success in war.
