HC Deb 09 December 1941 vol 376 c1370
13. Captain Gammans

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is in a position to make a statement with regard to the preliminary training scheme for boys wishing to join the Army on the lines of the Air Training Corps?

26. Mr. Keeling

asked the Secretary of State for War how the capitation and uniform grants and training equipment given to military cadet units compare with those given to the Air Training Corps; and whether military cadet officers will, like Air Training Corps officers, receive the King's Commission?

Captain Margesson

Pre-entry training for the Army has been undertaken for many years by the Junior Training Corps and by the Cadet Force. Proposals are now under consideration to enable these two organisations to play an increased part in the training of boys who wish to join the Army, and I hope to be in a position to make a statement shortly.
