§ DR. LYONSasked the Secretary of State for War, If it is the fact that under existing regulations the sons of medical officers of the Army are ineligible for nomination to honorary Queen's cadet-ships; and, if he will take steps to remedy this inequality in the position of the Medical Department which is felt as a slight to those who risk their lives in the service of the State?
§ MR. CHILDERSIn reply to my hon. Friend, I have to remind him that the sons of medical officers are eligible for Queen's cadetships. The arrangements as to Queen's honorary cadetships are under consideration; but I can give no assurance that I can extend this system, which is a delicate one to alter.
