Lieut.-Colonal Acland-Troyte

asked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether he can state the number of Indian cavalry regiments it is proposed to mechanise; and the number which will retain their horses?

Lieut.-Colonel Muirhead

Two Indian cavalry regiments are now in process of mechanisation. I am not yet in a position to state what number will ultimately be mechanised.
