Earl of DALKEITHasked the Minister of Agriculture, from how many county agricultural societies he has recently received communications urging that the grant for light horse breeding should be restored on adequate lines at an early date, and whether, in view of the decision that this grant is not to be re-transferred to his Department, he will pass on these communications to the War Office authorities?
§ Mr. ELLIOTSince 1st January, 1933, I have received communications with regard to grants for light horse breeding from 16 county agricultural committees, 12 county councils and 7 other interested bodies. I will bring these communications to the notice of the War Office as suggested by my Noble Friend.
