HC Deb 05 January 1916 vol 77 c937
10. Mr. CLOUGH

asked whether all the unmarried members of the various Officers' Training Corps will receive commissions before commissions are given to any of the married men who are now training in these corps?

Mr. TENNANT

The order in which commissions are given to members of Officers' Training Corps depends primarily on the recommendation of the commanding officer. The question whether the candidate was married or unmarried would be secondary, and in the majority of cases would not necessarily arise at all, but I believe that the various Officers' Training Corps are predominantly composed of the unmarried.
