MR. ASHLEY

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War what is the annual cost of a cavalry soldier of the Line serving at home, and of an infantry soldier, respectively.

MR. HALDANE

The average annual cost, including charges for barracks, arms, ammunition, etc., of a trained private soldier at home amounts to £61 17s. 2d. for cavalry of the Line, and £57 6s. 4d. for infantry of the Line.
