HC Deb 01 March 1944 vol 397 c1435W
Capain Bernays

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he can state the proportion of candidates for commissions admitted to O.C.T.U. in 1943 who were educated at State schools and public schools.

Sir J. Grigg

From three representative samples, totalling nearly 5,000 candidates accepted for O.C.T.Us. in 1943, it appears that roughly one-quarter had been educated at boarding and day schools which are members of the Headmasters' Conference and three-quarters at grant-aided secondary schools and elementary schools.
