HC Deb 11 July 1939 vol 349 cc2064-5
77. Major Kellett

asked the Secretary of State for War whether it is intended to retain the horsed cavalry and yeomanry regiments in case of war; and, if so, whether he is satisfied that an adequate supply of horses is available within the British Isles?

Mr. Hore-Belisha

The answer to both parts of the question is "Yes, Sir."

Mr. Turton

Will my right hon. Friend do what he can to prevent horses being bought by, and exported to, Germany?

Mr. Hore-Belisha

My right hon. Friend the President of the Board of Trade has stated that only 11 horses have been exported in five months.

Commander Sir Archibald Southby

How many were exported last year?
