§ Mr. NEWTONasked the Secretary for War whether, in view of the dissatisfaction caused by the recent Army Order disentitling officers of cadet corps from receiving the salute from men of the Regular or Territorial Armies, he will consider the advisability of rescinding the Order?
§ Colonel SEELYNo Army Order to this effect has been issued. This question of salute is under consideration.
§ Mr. NEWTONasked the Secretary of State for War whether officers commissioned by lord lieutenants of counties for cadet service are thereby exempted from liability for jury service; and, if not, whether, with a view to encouraging men to undertake the duties of officers of cadet corps, he will endeavour to secure this privilege for them?
§ Colonel SEELYThese officers are not exempt from jury service. Such exemption would require statutory authority, and at the present time I do not think it would be possible to pass the necessary legislation, even assuming it to be desirable to do so.
