HC Deb 23 May 1933 vol 278 c936W
Lieut.-Colonel MOORE

asked the Financial Secretary to the War Office the number and value of remounts purchased for the Army during the first quarter of 1933 from the Irish Free State, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and England and Wales; and what proportion of those purchased in Northern Ireland were of Irish Free State origin?

Mr. COOPER

The number for England, Wales and Scotland was 64 remounts at £4,547; and for Northern Ireland 18 remounts at £1,150. No remounts were purchased in the Irish Free State. I am unable to say whether any of those purchased in Northern Ireland were of Irish Free State origin.
