§ VISCOUNT CRICHTON (for Major VAUGHAN LEE)asked the Secretary of State for War, Why the result of the examination of candidates for entry into Sandhurst which commenced on the 27th of June last has not been declared before the 15th of August by the Civil Service Commissioners?
§ MR. CHILDERSIn reply to the noble Lord, I may say that I have ascertained from the Civil Service Commissioners, over whom I have no control whatever, that the delay on this occasion has been the result of the unusually large number of candidates, and of one of the Examiners' Reports being received later than usual. The list will be published this week.
