HC Deb 13 May 1930 vol 238 c1597
4. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

asked the Secretary of State for War what are the differences in the regulations for the training of cadets in military cadet corps and schoolboys between 13 and 15 years of age in the officers training corps?

Mr. SHAW

While there are not specific regulations for the training of boys of the Officers Training Corps between 13 and 15 years of age, the general principles laid down in War Office training manuals form the basis of training both in the Officers Training Corps and Cadet units. Those principles are modified and applied by the Officers Commanding to suit the age of the boys, and the other circumstances of their contingent or unit.

Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

Is it intended to alter the regulations of the Officers Training Corps in reference to the training of boys under 15?

Mr. SHAW

The question of the Officers Training Corps is borne continually in mind and is being considered.
