§ EARL WINTERTONI beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether officers of school cadet corps, forming part of the Officers Training Corps, will be permitted also to hold commissions in the local Territorial battalion to which their companies are attached; and, if so, whether their camp attendance and drills with the Officers Training Corps will enable them to become efficient.
THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR WAR (Mr. H LDANE,) HaddingtonOfficers of the Officers Training Corps will be gazetted to Commissions as Officers of the Territorial Force. The units of the Officers Training Corps will not be affiliated to local Territorial units. Officers of the Training Corps or officers of a Territorial unit seconded for service with the Training Corps will do duty entirely with the Training Corps. If the noble Lord will kindly refer to the Special Army Order, published on March 16th, he will, I think, find full information in regard to the Training Corps.
