HC Deb 01 November 1909 vol 12 c1442
Mr. W. THORNE

asked the Secretary of State for War if he can state the reason the education test for admittance into the commissioned ranks of the Special Reserve has been abolished?

Mr. HALDANE

The hon. Member has been misinformed. No education test has been required for admission to commissions in the Special Reserve of officers since the reserve was instituted, and none will be imposed until after 31st March, 1912.
