§ MR. WARR (Liverpool, E., Toxteth)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of 36 State for War whether, having regard to the desirability of giving further encouragement to the formation and efficient maintenance of cadet battalions, he will in the new Volunteer Regulations consider the desirability of giving to these battalions, besides the official title and the loan of rifles and camp equipment, to which Government assistance is now limited, a capitation grant for each cadet complying with conditions of efficiency, a grant for camp attendance, and a gratuitous issue of ammunition, ball and blank, and travelling expenses to a range for at least one annual attendance.
§ MR. WYNDHAMThis question of cadet battalions has been thoroughly considered, and it has been decided not to increase the assistance now given.
