HC Deb 02 May 1901 vol 93 cc417-8
MR. OSMOND-WILLIAMS (Merion-ethshire)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether, in view of the fact that Volunteer officers of fifteen years standing have already paid voluntarily out of their own pockets a greater sum than it would cost to maintain a boy for two years at Woolwich or Sandhurst, the Government will in future allow the sons of Volunteer officers who become cadets at those establishments a reduction of fees payable for their education similar to that which now appertains to sons of officers in the Regular Army.

LORD STANLEY

I must refer the hon. Member to the reply given to a similar question put by my hon. friend the Member for Montgomery district on 25th February.†
