HC Deb 08 May 1918 vol 105 cc2136-7
19. Sir J. JARDINE

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War if the young cadets, many of whom have just left school, who are being trained for commissions at the various officer cadet training schools, receive during the terms or the holidays rations equal to those who are under training at Woolwich and Sandhurst?

The FINANCIAL SECRETARY to the WAR OFFICE (Mr. Forster)

The officer cadets do not get exactly the same rations as the cadets at Sandhurst and Woolwich, because the large majority of the former are over nineteen years of age, whereas the opposite is the case at Sandhurst and Woolwich.
