HC Deb 22 February 1912 vol 34 c877W
Major HENDERSON

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War if he will furnish a return of the recent census of horses in the different counties, showing how many of each class of horses are required, in which counties the supply exceeds the demand, and in which counties the demand cannot be met; further if he will state what provision will be made to train the horses for light draught which have never been in harness and by whom, in the event of mobilisation, such horses will be trained?

Colonel SEELY

The classification of horses has not yet been completed. The horses taken for light draught will be horses already trained to harness and in working condition.
