§ 37. Mr. O'SHEEasked whether the-present prices for horses purchased for 415 the Army are on a scale fixed in 1915; and whether these prices will be raised, having regard to the increased cost of keep and labour?
§ Mr. FORSTERThe prices of horses are fixed in accord with the market, and it is not intended at present to raise the price of any class.
§ Mr. O'SHEEWhat are the prices as compared with 1915?
§ Mr. FORSTERThe price of riding horses is, I think, the same as in 1915, and the price of the draught horses is, I think, above that.
