HC Deb 28 June 1909 vol 7 c6
Sir SAMUEL SCOTT

asked the Secretary of State for War what steps had been taken to carry out the census of horses in the United Kingdom; and whether he could state an approximate date upon which he hopes to have that census completed?

Mr. HALDANE

A complete classified census has been taken for the county of Devon. The Home Office authorities are arranging for a similar census to be taken in the remaining counties this year, if possible.
