§ 5. Mr. LEACHasked what steps the Board is taking to remedy the scarcity of farm horses caused by the wastage of the war?
§ Sir HARRY VERNEYThe estimated number of farm horses acquired by the military authorities does not exceed 2 per cent. of the total. The temporary inconvenience caused in districts where a larger proportion was taken appears from reports received from the Board's inspectors, who have been investigating the matter, to have been satisfactorily adjusted.
