116. Mr. Emrys Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what is his estimate of the expense that is to be incurred in sending the Household Cavalry to Caernarvon for the investiture of the Prince of Wales; how many men and horses are to be sent there for the occasion; how they are to be transported; and if, in view of the need for reduction in national expenditure, he will reconsider this proposal.

Mr. George Thomas

No. The estimated cost of sending eight officers, 148 men and 170 horses of the Household Cavalry to Caernarvon for the Investiture of the Prince of Wales is £12,000. It
