HC Deb 26 January 1943 vol 386 c350
26. Mr. John Dugdale

asked the Secretary of State for War whether there are special short university courses for prospective candidates for commissions in the Army similar to those offered in the Royal Air Force; and, if so, what is the number of officer-cadets already accepted for them?

Mr. A. Henderson

Yes, Sir. About 2,000 have so far been accepted, and it is expected that a further 690 or so will be accepted for the course which starts in April.
