HC Deb 16 June 1902 vol 109 cc696-7
COLONEL BROOKFIELD (Sussex, Rye)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether his attention has been called to the breaches of discipline which have lately taken place on the part of cadets at the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, including a demonstration against the Governor of the College; and whether, in view of these and similar occurrences, and of the recent Report of the Committee on Military Education, he will consider the desirability of at once closing the Royal Military College, or taking other measures to restore the discipline of the cadets.

MR. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN (for Mr. BRODRICK)

There was a disturbance, but there was no demonstration against the Governor. The whole question is now being investigated by a Committee of general officers under the presidency of General Sir Robert Grant.
