32. Sir CHARLES HUNTER

asked the Secretary of State for War how many regiments of Cavalry, battalions of Infantry, and batteries of Artillery it is proposed to remove from South Africa during the present trooping season?

Sir CLEMENT KINLOCH-COOKE

What about Susie?

The SECRETARY of STATE for WAR (Colonel Seely)

As I informed my hon. Friend the Member for Hexham last Thursday, two Cavalry regiments, one brigade of Horse Artillery, one brigade of Field Artillery, one Field troop Royal Engineers, and one battalion of Infantry will be withdrawn from South Africa during the present trooping season. The 2nd Battalion Gordon Highlanders are accordingly being sent from India to Egypt, instead of to South Africa.

Sir C. HUNTER

Gould the right hon. Gentleman stale from what stations?

Colonel SEELY

I could not say that at once, but I will certainly communicate the stations as soon as they are settled.
