MARQUESS of TULLIBARDINEasked the Secretary of State for War what is the sealed pattern, namely, Colonial or Cavalry pattern, of saddle for issue to the Yeomanry?
§ Mr. TENNANTThe position is one of transition. Hitherto the authorised pattern has been that known as "Yeomanry" pattern, which is, I think, that which the Noble Marquess refers to as "Colonial" pattern. Eventually, as the present stocks of this in use becomes unserviceable, the840W "Universal" pattern, which is that with which the Regular Cavalry are equipped, will be issued to the Yeomanry, some of whom already have it.
