MR. NEVILLE-GRENVILLEasked the Secretary of State for War, Whether the forthcoming examination for Woolwich can be so arranged as to allow the candidates to leave their respective abodes the morning on which the examination begins, instead of, as in December last, their being compelled to come to London two days before they were wanted, in consequence of the early hour on the Monday morning on which their attendance was required, particularly as the lads who do not take up all the subjects must remain in the metropolis the intervening days upon which no work is done?
§ MR. CARDWELLsaid, in reply, that to postpone the day for beginning the examination would throw the end of it into the following week, which would probably cause an inconvenience to the candidates at least equal to that alluded to in the Question of the hon. Member. To obviate the latter, arrangements will be made that the medical examination at Woolwich shall be held late on Monday, the 3rd of July, in the case of candidates coming from a distance.
