HC Deb 20 March 1918 vol 104 c960
21. Mr. JOHN HOPE

asked the Undersecretary of State for War if the Army Council contemplates making provision that lads over eighteen years of age serving in the senior division Officers' Training Corps shall get a scale of rations equivalent to that issued to young soldiers' battalions?

Mr. MACPHERSON

All men below the age of nineteen and entitled to draw rations in kind from Army stocks are permitted to draw the higher scale applicable to young soldiers' battalions. This proviso applies also to senior division Officers' Training Corps who are entitled to Army rations in kind.
