HC Deb 13 March 1868 vol 190 c1594
COLONEL ANNESLEY

said, he would beg to ask the Secretary of State for War, Whether it is in contemplation to alter the age for admission to the Royal Military College; and, if so, whether due notice will be given before such alteration takes effect?

SIR JOHN PAKINGTON

said, in reply, that it was in contemplation to make considerable reductions in the ages at which young men entered the Colleges at Sandhurst and Woolwich. Due notice would, however, be given when the changes were likely to come into operation.
