EARL Of RONALDSHAYasked the Secretary of State for War if rocking-horses are to be supplied to all Cavalry regiments for the purpose of teaching recruits to ride; and does he propose to extend this advantage to the Territorial Force with a view to increasing their efficiency?
§ The SECRETARY of STATE for WAR (Mr. Haldane)The Noble Lord is doubtless alluding to certain dummy horses on rockers which have been tested with very satisfactory results. The question of the supply of such dummy horses is now under consideration.
EARL of RONALDSHAYIs it the intention to make good the deficiency of real horses by these wretched mechanical beasts?
§ Mr. HALDANEI am told that various hon. Members opposite practise with profit on these dummy horses.
