HC Deb 29 January 1913 vol 47 c1318
26. Mr. LANE-FOX

asked what are the names of the officers now serving in AA and BB batteries of the Royal Horse Artillery?

Colonel SEELY

At the present time Captain Curling and Lieutenant Lanyon are serving with AA battery, which is ordered home from India; and Major Monkhouse and Lieutenants Ward and Gifford with BB battery, which is ordered home from South Africa.

Mr. LANE-FOX

What has happened to other officers who were serving in this regiment?

Colonel SEELY

If the hon. Gentleman will put down a question I will tell him, as I have not got the whole destinations in my head at the moment.

Sir R. POLE-CAREW

How is it there are only two officers?

Colonel SEELY

I have been asked a definite question as to the names of the officers in two batteries, and I have given a reply.

Sir R. POLE-CAREW

How is it there are not more?

Colonel SEELY

I would prefer a specific question on that point.

Sir R. POLE-CAREW

rose—

Mr. SPEAKER

The hon. and gallant Gentleman should really take the trouble to put down the question. If he thinks it is of sufficient importance to ask it is of sufficient importance to be put down.
