§ MR. SWIFT MACNEILL (Donegal, S.)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that the War Office authorities have been in communication with those of the University of Dublin as to the provision of military education for Army candidates, and that the persons appointed by the University authorities to give this instruction (including strategy and tactics) are all civilians; and whether the War Office authorities are satisfied with this arrangement.
§ MR. ARNOLD-FORSTERRegulations have recently bean approved by which University candidates can obtain Commissions in the Army. So long as these candidates fulfil the conditions imposed by these regulations the War Office does not interfere with details such as the selection of lecturers and instructors. But the War Office is always ready to advise on these matters when the Universities desire assistance.
