HC Deb 24 July 1912 vol 41 cc1188-9W
Mr. WHELER

asked the Secretary of State for War how many officers of His Majesty's Army undergo annually a course of instruction at the School of Economics of London University; and whether any Government Grant is made to the university for giving this instruction?

Colonel SEELY

Thirty officers go through the special course annually. A special fee of £30 for each officer attending and a subsidy of £1,000 a year has hitherto been granted. In future courses the subsidy will be reduced to £600 a year.
