MR. LLEWLLYN () Somersetshire, NTo ask the Secretary of State for War whether it is intended to revert to a competitive examination, in military subjects only, in the case of candidates or the line from the Militia, as recommended by the recent Committee appointed to consider the education and training of officers of the army, referred to in Appendix 13, paragraph 5, of their Report; and, if so, when such change will be carried out.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Brodrick.) I propose shortly to make a statement on the future system of examination of Militia officers prior to their entry into the regular forces. The examination in march next will be under existing regulations.
