HC Deb 16 February 1939 vol 343 cc1941-2W
Sir J. Lamb

asked the Secretary of State for War to what extent, when British cavalry regiments were mechanised recently and the remounts were for sale, the buyers of these trained horses were Germans, who found that mechanised transport was not wholly satisfactory; and can he state the number of horses so disposed of to foreign countries?

Sir V. Warrender

I regret the information asked for is not available, but, with regard to mechanised transport, information is that there has been an increase in mechanisation in the Germany Army.
