HC Deb 15 March 1915 vol 70 cc1746-7
65. Mr. R. McNEILL

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether having regard to the dispiriting effect on Yeomanry regiments who have volunteered for service abroad of the doubt whether any more yeomanry are to be employed on active service, he can consistently with the public interest make a statement on the subject?

Mr. TENNANT

All His Majesty's Forces will be employed in this War in the manner in which their services can be best utilised for the achievement of the object which we have in hand.

Mr. McNEILL

Is it the fact that the Yeomanry are to be sent abroad?

Mr. TENNANT

I am unable to give any such assurance.

Mr. McNEILL

Mr. TENNANT

The question was submitted to the Secretary of State and I have given his reply.
