HC Deb 19 October 1916 vol 86 c744W
Sir C. HUNTER

asked the Secretary of State for War if it has lately been found necessary to reduce the forage allowance for Cavalry horses at home; and what is the present daily ration?

Mr. FORSTER

No, Sir, no reduction in the scale has been made, but instructions have recently been issued that from the 1st proximo the chaff portion may be varied with a like quantity of hay. It is also under consideration whether the extra quantity of oats allowed during the training season shall be continued for the winter months. I will send my hon. Friend the information for which he asks in the last paragraph of his question.
