RANDLES (Cumberland, Cocker mouth)To ask the Secretary of State for War, whether, in drawing up regulations dealing with the future education of officers in His Majesty's Army, he will consider the possibility of including a provision by which a non-commissioned officer who qualifies himself may attain commissioned rank.
