§ 25. Colonel CLIFTON BROWNasked the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether, since the imposition of the special duties upon horses exported to this country from the Irish Free State, the War Office has obtained the bulk of its supplies of remounts within Great Britain; and, if so, whether the standard of the remounts now being purchased is equally good and the cost no greater?
§ Mr. COOPERSince the imposition of the special duties, 330 remounts have been purchased, of which 198 have been obtained in Great Britain and the remainder in Northern Ireland. The answer to the last part of the question is in the affirmative.
