§ Sir SAMUEL SCOTTasked the Secretary of State for War if he can state from what source he proposes to obtain the strategic cavalry of the Territorial Army when the expeditionary force has left this country, in view of the fact that the cavalry of the Territorial Army are neither trained nor armed in a manner to enable them to carry out this most important duty?
§ Mr. HALDANEIt is proposed that certain brigades of Yeomanry should be employed as independent cavalry, but the scope and difficulty of their duties will not be of an exactly similar nature to those anticipated for the regular cavalry, owing to the fact that in the United Kingdom strategical reconnaisance will not be necessary because the locality or localities of an invading army or armies must be known.
