Mr. BRODIE

asked the Secretary of State for War what is the number of horses that would be required to complete the war establishment of the artillery of the first and second line armies, respectively; and whether this number of suitable horses is definitely available in the United Kingdom?

Mr. HALDANE

The number of horses required to complete the Royal Artillery of the United States battleships of the line 35,346. There is no reason to suppose that the total number of suitable horses required is not available in the United Kingdom.
