HC Deb 21 June 1915 vol 72 c939
66. Mr. O'GRADY

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether he is aware of the persistent cruelty to the wounded and injured horses drafted into the park at Leamington for treatment; whether such cruelty is due to negligent oversight on the part of the responsible veterinary officials; and whether he will see that disciplinary measures are taken to protect these animals from unnecessary suffering and cruelty?

Mr. TENNANT

This allegation has been investigated and I am sure my hon. Friend will be as glad as I am to find that it is quite unfounded. Perhaps he will furnish me with the source of his information.
