§ Major ANSTRUTHER-GRAYasked the Secretary for War whether he proposes to take any steps to prevent the same horse being hired for several different corps in the same year, thus making a false estimate of trained horses available for the Yeomanry and inviting confusion and disaster in case of war?
§ Mr. HALDANEI have nothing to add to the reply which I gave to a similar question put by the hon. and gallant Member on 12th July last.
§ Major ANSTRUTHER-GRAYWill the right hon. Gentleman make inquiries on the subject, as it is freely stated in Scotland that some of the horses served with three corps and some even with five?
§ Mr. HALDANEI have no doubt that may be so, but we are discouraging it as far as possible, and as soon as we get a census of horses we shall have a better system.
§ Major ANSTRUTHER-GRAYI hope so.
