MAJOR CARTWRIGHTasked the Secretary of State for War, If he will state the reason why Candidates for admission to the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich, numbering about 150, are for the first time to be sent down to undergo their medical examination at Woolwich on Monday July 3rd, instead of as heretofore being medically examined at Burlington House, where their general examination will be conducted on the nine subsequent days; and, whether it would not be more convenient for the Medical Officers to attend at Burlington House for this purpose, than that the 150 Candidates should be sent down to Woolwich?
§ MR. CARDWELLSir, the arrangement was made by the Field Marshal Commanding-in-Chief on the suggestion of Sir Lintorn Simmons, concurred in by the Director General of the Army Medical Department, and the Director General of Military Education.
