§ SIR. GEORGE CAMPBELLasked the Secretary of State for War, If he proposes to take any action on the report of General Fitzmayer, concurred in by General Lord Airey, regarding the discipline of our Military Schools; or, whether the education of Cadets will be one of the subjects referred to the Military Committee about to sit, especially the shortness of the present course at Sandhurst and the entire absence of modern languages?
§ COLONEL STANLEY,in reply, said, that the action he had taken on the Report referred to by the hon. Gentleman, or rather upon the Report of the other visitors of the Royal Military Academy, from which General Fitzmayer dissented, was that he had requested the Commander-in-Chief to direct his attention to the subject of that Report, which had since been referred to the Governors of the Royal Military Academy and the Royal Military College for their consideration. He had not yet received their reply, but he had called for it; and he had no reason to doubt that it would be of such a character as would enable him to lay it upon the Table of the House in continuation of the other Papers on the subject. As regarded the Military Commission, it was no part of their duty to inquire into the education of officers.
