Captain CROOKSHANK (by Private Notice)asked the Secretary of State for War whether he can now inform the House which are the cavalry regiments to be converted into armoured car regiments?
§ The SECRETARY of STATE for WAR (Sir Laming Worthington-Evans)The regiments selected are the 11th Hussars at Aldershot and the 12th Royal Lancers in Egypt. I much regret that an inaccurate and unauthorised statement was made public on the wireless and in certain newspapers. I had intended to delay making any announcement until 2105 the 12th Royal Lancers had received the official despatch upon the subject.
