§ 39. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYasked the Prime Minister whether His Majesty's Government has yet readied a decision with regard to fees at present paid for cadets under training for the Royal Navy, His Majesty's Army, and the Royal Air Force; and whether he proposes to widen the field of selection of officers for His Majesty's Forces by abolishing these fees, as in the case of the American and Japanese Forces?
§ The PRIME MINISTERThis matter is still under consideration by the Departments concerned, but a decision will be reached with as little delay as possible.
§ Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYCan the right hon. Gentleman say why no decision has been arrived at?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI can go this far. One Department has made up its mind, but there are two others concerned, and until we get their decisions it is impossible to make an announcement in this House?
§ Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYI will repeat the question.
