§ Sir CROYDON MARKSasked whether arrangements will be speedily made to enable cadets who do not now desire to obtain commissions to return to civil life, and thereby permit students and others to complete their examinations and take up scholarships that are in abeyance, and also to save the expenditure on kit allowances and gratuities on discharge that will be entailed if commissions are granted?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONIt is not possible at present to allow any cadets to leave their cadet units until orders for demobilisation are issued. No more cadets will be put forward for commissions unless hostilities are resumed, and therefore the expense of kit allowances and gratuities will not be incurred.
