HC Deb 15 December 1925 vol 189 cc1233-4W
Sir R. BARNETT

asked the Secretary of State for War whether it has been

the British and Indian establishments respectively in 1914–15 arid 1925–26 was:

decided on grounds of economy to withhold the grant of £15,000 proposed to be given this year to the cadet corps?

Captain KING

It has been decided not to reintroduce the grant for cadet corps pending the result of the general review of Army expenditure which is proceeding. It is now uncertain whether Army funds could continue to afford this assistance to cadet corps, and it would be wasteful to reintroduce the grant only to withdraw it again next year.
