HC Deb 21 June 1910 vol 18 c182
Major ADAM

asked whether, in view of the deplorably low standard of education on the part of those endeavouring to qualify for commissions in the Army, as revealed by the report of the Director of Military Training, the Secretary for War will take steps to procure a sufficient supply of candidates of the former standard of intelligence?

Mr. HALDANE

The whole question is at present receiving the careful consideration of the Army Council.

Major ADAM

Will the right hon. Gentleman tell us what practical steps he intends to take?

Mr. HALDANE

The practical steps which are to be taken are under my personal and close consideration, and that of the whole of the staff at the present time.
