HC Deb 16 April 1913 vol 51 cc1920-1
29. Mr. NEWMAN

asked the Secretary of State for War whether, in view of the fact that King Edward's Horse, the King's Oversea Dominions Regiment, is a unit liable for active service outside the confines of the United Kingdom, he will state the number of horses now on the strength of the regiment?

Colonel SEELY

Provision is not made out of Army Funds for the permanent maintenance of horses for this unit in time of peace.

Mr. NEWMAN

Will they get their horses?

Colonel SEELY

I have said that provision is made for the permanent maintenance of horses in time of peace, and in time of war every provision is made.
