§ Mr. LAURENCE HARDYasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that very urgent representations have been frequently made to the proper authorities for commissions to be granted to suitable candidates in the third-line Royal East Kent Yeomanry, and that no reply can be obtained; and whether he can take prompt measures to relieve the inconvenience caused by this neglect?
§ Mr. TENNANTNo, Sir, I am not aware of the representations mentioned. Any recommendations for the granting of commissions must be dealt with under the regulations for the time being in force. Suitable candidates, who have been nominated to the War Office, will be sent to a cadet unit for training, and will be given commissions if reported upon as being suitable at the end of their course.
