§ Mr. WRIGHTasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether, in view of the shortage of supply and the desirability of giving farmers encouragement to breed horses of a type suitable for military purposes, he will take the necessary steps to station in Herefordshire two stallions, at convenient centres in the north and south of the county, the services of which will be available for farmers and others interested in horse breeding at a small or nominal fee?
§ Mr. RUNCIMANThe Board, on the recommendation of the county committee, allocated one King's premium stallion to Herefordshire for the present season. No application for a second stallion has been made, and inasmuch as all the premium stallions available have now been allocated, it would not be possible to provide a second stallion this year.
