LORD CLAUD HAMILTONasked the Secretary of State for War, Whether, in carrying out the proposed more intimate relations between the Regular Forces and the Militia, he will grant to the sons of officers of the Militia the same educational advantages as are now enjoyed by the sons of officers of the Army and Navy, in the form of a reduced rate of charge at the public military academies?
§ MR. CARDWELLThe permanent Staff of the Militia now enjoy the advantages referred to. How far it may be possible to extend them to Militia officers who are not also officers of the Army is a question which it would be premature to decide. Those who are also Army officers will be in the enjoyment of them as Army officers.
