§ 53. Sir R. Glynasked the Secretary of State for War if he can now explain what are the arrangements that will permit a cadet being attached to a Territorial technical unit in order that after qualification 1085 in simple infantry training he may obtain some proficiency and thus qualify on being called up to serve in that particular technical arm of the Service.
§ The Secretary of State for War (Mr. Strachey)After qualifying in basic infantry individual training, a cadet may aim for Certificate "T" which is a certificate of proficiency in some branch of technical training. By a system of affiliation between Territorial Army units and cadet units it is possible for the members of a cadet unit to be given such facilities as are available for technical training by a technical unit of the Territorial Army in the same locality. The possession of certificate "T" entitles a cadet, when called up, to choose to serve in a particular technical arm of the Service, provided vacancies are available.
