HC Deb 25 February 1870 vol 199 cc800-1
MAJOR GAVIN

said, he would beg to ask the Secretary of State for War, Whether the new regulations as to admission of Cadets in Woolwich after the examination in July will come into force absolutely, or whether any allowance will be made as to limit of age in favour of those who have already been up for examination under the existing regulations?

CAPTAIN VIVIAN

, in reply, said, that the new regulations as to the admission of cadets to Woolwich, after the examinations of July, would not come absolutely into force, inasmuch as it had been decided that the old limit of ago would remain in force till after the Christmas examinations. The new regulations as to age would only come into force at the examinations of Midsummer, 1871.
