Mr. De la Bèreasked the Secretary of State for War whether, in view of the substantial number of horses that have already been acquired by the Army for war purposes, it is possible to make some statement regarding future requirements in order that farmers throughout the country may be informed as to the best way they can assist the Government by holding a reserve available?
§ Mr. StanleyI regret that it is not possible to make any forecast of future requirements, but I am sending my hon. Friend a copy of a notice on the subject which was issued for publication two months ago.
