18. Major DOUGLAS BROWNasked the Under-Secretary of State for War if it is the intention of the War Office to disband three cavalry regiments in the near future; and if he can state briefly the intentions of the War Office as regards the strength of the cavalry branch of the service?
The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for WAR (Lieut.-Colonel Guinness)The answer to the first part of the question is in the negative. With regard to the last part, I would refer the hon. and gallant Member to the statement made by my Noble Friend in another place on 27th June last. That statement applies 1151 to all branches of the service, including the cavalry.
