§ 63. Colonel Sir Charles MacAndrewasked the Secretary of State for War whether most seniority is invariably given to those university candidates for comissions who have taken honours degrees?
§ Mr. Hore-BelishaNo, Sir.
§ Sir C. MacAndrewIf a candidate for a commission takes his honours degree has he no advantage over a candidate who takes an ordinary degree?
§ Mr. Hore-BelishaYes, he has a certain advantage in regard to whether he obtains a first or second class, but not otherwise. It is too complicated a matter to explain 1715 in answer to a question, but I will send my hon. and gallant Friend the particulars.
