§ Colonel WALKERasked the Under-Secretary for War if the Army Council has authorised the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals to raise funds to provide shelter for the wounded horses brought down to the base, and for 943W providing ambulances, rugs, and blankets; and whether the Government are not able to supply these necessaries themselves without the intervention of a society for preventing cruelty?
§ Mr. TENNANTThe Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals on its own initiative made an offer of assistance, which the War Office accepted. The hon. and gallant Member's deduction is without foundation.
