HL Deb 27 June 1872 vol 212 c281
LORD REDESDALE

, in moving that an humble Address be presented to Her Majesty for Copy of Correspondence between Lord Redesdale, as President of Cheltenham College, and the Secretary of State for the War Department in relation to the times appointed for the examinations for admission to the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, said, that his reason for moving for the production of this Correspondence was that it had been complained the examinations were so fixed that boys desirous of passing them had to prepare for them during their holidays. He hoped that some satisfactory arrangement might be arrived at?

THE EARL OF CAMPERDOWN

said, that the desire of the Government to meet the convenience of the public schools as far as possible was expressed in the correspondence to which the noble Lord referred, and to the production of which there was no objection on the part of Her Majesty's Government.

Motion agreed to.
