Sir SEYMOUR KINGasked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether he is aware that the sons of officers of the Indian Army, though stated to be eligible for King's cadetships, are limited to admission to the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, and not, as in the case of the British Army, eligible for admission to Woolwich and there from for first appointments to the Royal Artillery and Royal Engineers; and whether he will take steps to get this distinction between the sons of officers of the Indian Army and sons of officers of the British Army abolished, so that both may be equally eligible for admission to Woolwich as well as to the Royal Military College, Sandhurst?
