§ 9. Brigadier "General CLIFTON BROWNasked the Secretary of State for War whether the forming of two cavalry regiments into armoured-car units will alter the roster of these regiments for foreign service; and, if so, with what 962 result as to the change of stations in Egypt or India?
§ Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANSIt is not possible to say what effect the conversion of the two cavalry regiments into armoured-car units will ultimately have on the foreign service roster.
Brigadier-General BROWNMay I ask whether this means that the 12th Lancers in Egypt will go on to India in two years as an armoured-car unit instead of a cavalry regiment; and whether the armoured-car regiment in Egypt will then be relieved by a cavalry regiment and leave no armoured-car regiment there?
§ Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANSThat is precisely what I cannot say. I do not know what developments will take place in the next two years.
