§ COLONEL LOCKWOOD (Essex, Epping)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether he will consider the advisability of making an arrangement whereby the sons of officers (who retire on pension or gratuity after 18 years service) entering the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, should be taken at a reduced scale from that for the son of a private gentleman, viz. £150.
LORD STANLEYIt was decided many years ago that 20 years service was required to qualify for such advantages. In any changes which may be made at Sandhurst I will consider my hon. friend's suggestion.
