HC Deb 16 July 1919 vol 118 c386
78. Mr. ADAMSON

asked the Secretary of State for War whether it is proposed to abolish the concessions made during the War for entrance at Woolwich and Sandhurst whereby sons of parents of moderate means were enabled to take the course; if so, will he state the reason for this reversion to the practice of reserving the commissions in the Army for the sons of wealthy parents by restoring the fees formerly in force at these colleges and abolishing the prize cadetships; and whether this matter will be reconsidered?

Mr. FORSTER

I can add nothing to the reply which I gave to a similar question by the right hon. Member on the 26th June.
