HC Deb 23 February 1926 vol 192 cc279-80
37. Major Sir BERTRAM FALLE

asked the Secretary of State for War if he can make any statement as to the pay of those Woolwich cadets who passed the examinations and began their course before the new rates of pay came into force, and are now being given commissions; and if it is still proposed to pay these gentlemen less than those cavalry and line officers now commissioned who entered Sandhurst at the same date and after the same examination as the Woolwich cadets?

Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANS

This matter is still under consideration, and I am not at present in a position to make any statement.

Sir B. FALLE

Can the right hon. Gentleman tell me, if I put down a question in a fortnight's time?

Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANS

I hope I may be able to tell my hon. and gallant Friend in a fortnight or three weeks. Perhaps he will communicate with me.
