HC Deb 22 May 1924 vol 173 c2391
38. Mr. AYLES

asked the President of the Board of Education whether he is aware that in certain schools receiving grants from the Board, where there is a recognised cadet corps or officers training corps, every scholar is compelled to join or else to resign from the school; and whether he will take steps to inform such schools that no scholar who desires to remain outside this corps is to be penalised?

Mr. TREVELYAN

I have not had my attention called to any case of a school in receipt of grants from public funds where compulsion of the kind referred to in the question is practised.
