§ Mr. W. BAKERasked the Secretary of State for War whether it is possible greatly to increase the number of vacancies at Sandhurst and Woolwich, which can be offered to non-commissioned officers?
§ Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANSAs I informed the hon. Member on 17th February, the scheme is already being extended by the offer, as from February, 1928, of three vacancies each halt-year at the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich. There has not yet peen sufficient experience to justify a further extension of the scheme nor would the number of applicants, who have come forward, warrant it.
