HC Deb 26 February 1900 vol 79 cc1088-9
MR. LOUIS SINCLAIR

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War whether, out of existing funds, a certain amount could be allocated to encourage cadet corps in schools; and whether the War Office would consider the advisability of consulting with the Education Department with the view of introducing sergeants to teach boys drill in all elementary schools.

*MR. J. POWELL-WILLIAMS

There arc no funds at present at the disposal of the Secretary of State for War, out of which money could be allocated to cadet corps. The suggestion made in the second paragraph of the question has already been adopted.
