§ MR. STIRLINGsaid, he would beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War, If he will state the steps which must be taken by the Universities of St. Andrews and Aberdeen, in order that candidates for 1436 direct commissions who have taken the degree of M.A. in these Universities may obtain the exemption from examination under Clause 4 of the New Regulations, which his Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief has been pleased to grant to candidates who have taken similar degrees in the University of Edinburgh?
THE MARQUESS OF HARTINGTON, in reply, said, the Universities to which the hon. Gentleman's Question referred, had only to make a formal and official application to the War Office, stating their case, in order to obtain the same privileges as the University of Edinburgh, and they would be granted.
