HC Deb 26 June 1919 vol 117 c365W
Mr. ADAMSON

asked the Secretary of State for War whether it is proposed to abolish the concessions made during the War for entrance at Woolwich and Sandhurst whereby sons of parents of moderate means were enabled to take the course; if so, will he state the reason for this reversion to the practice of reserving the commissions in the Army for the sons of wealthy parents by restoring the fees formerly in force at these colleges and abolishing the prize cadetships; and whether this matter will be reconsidered?

Mr. FORSTER

As indicated in the reply which I gave the hon. and gallant Member for Central Hull on Tuesday last the future arrangements are under consideration.
