HC Deb 01 August 1939 vol 350 c2199W
Sir E. Makins

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware of instances in which persons contracting for the mounting of yeomanry units for annual training have supplied horses imported from abroad, and then re-exported them at the end of the training; and whether he proposes to take any steps in future to ensure that such contractors shall only be permitted to supply animals from British sources?

Mr. Hore-Belisha

I am not aware of any such cases. If my hon. and gallant Friend will send me any particulars that have come to his notice, I will have inquiries made.
