HC Deb 11 July 1944 vol 401 c1554
8. Sir John Graham Kerr

asked the Secretary of State for War whether, in view of the remarkable results obtained by the battle schools in the development of powers of observation and general mental alertness, he will take steps to secure that all entrants to the Army educational establishments in post-war years shall have received preliminary training in these during their school period.

Sir J. Grigg

The training which is given at battle schools—excellent as it is for soldiers—is unsuitable for schoolboys.
