HC Deb 18 March 1912 vol 35 c1672W
Mr. HARRIS

asked the Under-Secretary for War whether the number of horses registered for Army purposes in respect of the coming financial year compares favourably or unfavourably with that of the year winch will shortly expire; and whether many owners of suitable horses are unwilling to register on existing terms?

Colonel SEELY

Up to the present fewer horses have been registered than last year. It would appear from the Returns that this is due to intended change of traction from horse to motor.
