HC Deb 24 May 1909 vol 5 c815
Major ANSTRUTHER-GRAY (for Sir Samuel Scott)

asked the Secretary of State for War whether the present method of arming the cavalry of the Territorial Army as mounted infantry is based upon the assumption that any hostile force which might either raid or invade these shores will be entirely deficient of regular cavalry; and, if so, whether he can state any reasons for such an assumption?

Mr. HALDANE

The method of arming the Yeomanry is not based on the assumption suggested by the hon. Baronet.
