§ 23. Sir REGINALD POLE-CAREWasked whether it has been finally decided to abolish the cadres of Batteries AA and BB, Royal Horse Artillery; and whether, before carrying such a decision into effect, he will explain to this House his reasons for so serious a step?
§ Colonel SEELYI have nothing at present to add to the information which I have already given the hon. and gallant Gentleman on this subject. I hope to be able to make a general statement on this subject on the introduction of Army Estimates next month.
§ Sir R. POLE-CAREWIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that he has not answered the question?
§ Colonel SEELYIt would be impossible to make a general statement as to the reorganisation of the Artillery rendered necessary by the return of troops from South Africa within the limits of question and answer.
§ Sir R. POLE-CAREWI am sorry, having regard to the answer, I have to give notice that I will bring this question up on the Motion for the Adjournment of the House to-morrow.
