§ 69. Lord A. THYNNEasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether no drafts to fill up wastage have yet reached Yeomanry squadrons at the front which have been on active service since the spring; and whether he can undertake that such drafts, which have been repeatedly applied for and are urgently needed, will be sent out at an early date?
§ Mr. TENNANTI have looked carefully into this, and the information at my disposal does not support the statement made by the Noble Lord.
§ Lord A. THYNNEWould the right hon. Gentleman look into the case of the Yeomanry regiments who are acting as additional Cavalry in Flanders at the present moment?
§ Mr. TENNANTThe demands which have been made have almost invariably been met. The numbers it is not desirable to state in the House, but I will inform the Noble Lord of them privately. They are very small.
