§ Mr. GOLDSTONEasked the Secretary of State for War whether he will consider the possibility of extending the power of nomination for admission to Sandhurst so as to include the headmasters of municipal and county secondary schools who may have boys in their upper forms possessing powers of leadership similar to those possessed by boys in the public schools; and whether he will consider the desirability of affording easy admission to Sandhurst to suitable candidates from such schools who might be unable for financial reasons to enter the college?
§ Mr. HALDANENo school which fulfils the conditions required for recognition by the Army Council as an approved school will be debarred from recommending candidates for admission to the Royal Military College by nomination. The terms of payment in connection with the course at the College are of universal application and cannot be altered in favour of candidates from any particular class of school.
