§ Major ANSTRUTHER-GRAYasked the Secretary of State for War whether he will consider the advisability of raising the sum to be paid on purchase by the War Office for horses winning the prizes to encourage farmers to breed horses for remount purposes from £30 to £40, the former sum being quite inadequate to compensate for the risk, care, and trouble involved?
§ Mr. HALDANEThe conditions for remount classes at horse shows are that the horses entered may be claimed by the remount officer at their market value, provided that this does not exceed the average current price of remounts. The current prices of remounts vary from £30 for cobs to £42 for troop horses and £60 for chargers.
