HC Deb 11 August 1887 vol 319 c70
MR. GENT-DAVIS (Lambeth, Kennington)

asked the Secretary of State for War, Whether an officer of the Yeomanry can be transferred to a Cavalry Regiment on passing the requisite examination entitling him to a commission for service therein?

THE SECRETARY OF STATE (MR. E. STANHOPE) (Lincolnshire, Horncastle)

No, Sir. An officer of Yeomanry is not eligible, as such, for transfer to the Cavalry of the Line by merely passing an examination.
