38. Lieut.-Colonel HENEAGE

asked the Financial Secretary to the War Office how many horses for the Army have been purchased from Southern Ireland since the 1st January?

The FINANCIAL SECRETARY to the WAR OFFICE (Mr. Duff Cooper)

I have the figures of the purchases from 1st January to 30th April, and these show that no horses were bought from Southern Ireland.

Lieut.-Colonel HENEAGE

Will my hon. Friend kindly maintain that satisfactory state of affairs while there are plenty of horses to be sold in this country?
