The strength of the Officers' Training Corps (excluding permanent staff) on 1st October, 1934, was: Senior division, 154 officers and 4,414 cadets; junior division, 597 officers and 23,746 cadets. Figures of the cost are given on pages 64 and 65 of the current Army Estimates. I am sending the hon. Member a list of schools which, from time to time, have applied to form contingents.
