HC Deb 04 June 1909 vol 5 c1631W
Captain MURRAY

asked the Secretary of State for War whether an officer who hires a Government charger is permitted, on consideration of an additional payment of £10 per annum, to make use of the same for purposes of hunting; and, if so, whether the officer is in any way pecuniarily liable in the event of an accident to the charger whilst hunting

Mr. HALDANE

An officer who hires a Government charger at £10 per annum is permitted to use it for hunting without additional payment. The hirer is pecuniarily liable in the event of any accident to the charger when in use for hunting.
