HC Deb 24 October 1916 vol 86 c947
76. Colonel LOCKWOOD

asked if the Government have agreed to discontinue the sale of cast Army horses abroad with the exception of some mares sold solely for breeding purposes?

Mr. FORSTER

My right hon. Friend hopes soon to be able to announce the decision on this question.

Colonel LOCKWOOD

It will not be long?

Mr. FORSTER

No.

Mr. BUTCHER

Will the hon. Gentleman bear in mind the importance of sending home to this country horses which have been cast from the Army so that they may be available for breeding purposes here?

Mr. FORSTER

That has not been lost sight of.
