§ COLONEL HOWARD VINCENT (Sheffield, Central)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether, as the time spent in education at the Staff College at Kneller Hall and at Hythe counts towards pension, the same privilege can be extended to Army schoolmasters going through their course of training at the Royal Military Asylum in those cases in which they were soldiers before entering upon the course?
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR WAR (Mr. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN, Stirling, &c.)The training schools at the Royal Military Asylum have been abolished since 1888. Soldiers in training for the appointment of schoolmaster now pass one year in Army schools, and this year's service is counted towards pension.
