§ 23. Lieut.-Colonel APPLINasked the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether the amalgamation of the 15th King's Hussars with the 19th Royal Hussars and the disappearance of the latter regiment from the Army List involves the reduction of the cavalry by one regiment on mobilisation; and, if so, whether the sanction of Parliament will be obtained for such reduction?
§ The FINANCIAL SECRETARY to the WAR OFFICE (Mr. Duff Cooper)The recent change in title of the 15th/19th Hussars does not involve any reduction on mobilisation; and the second part of the question therefore does not arise.
§ Lieut.-Colonel APPLINMay I ask the hon. Gentleman how a regiment which has disappeared from the Army List can be resurrected afterwards? Where will it be shown in the Army List?
§ Mr. COOPERThat question does not arise out of the question.
