HC Deb 25 July 1939 vol 350 cc1286-7W
Mr. Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for War whether his attention has been called to the fact that, on 18th July, the London County Council reaffirmed its previous decision not to allow cadet corps to be organised in the council's maintained secondary schools; and whether he will make representations to the London County Council as to the desirability of re-establishing these cadet corps?

Mr. Hore-Belisha

Yes, Sir, but, though I regret the decision, I do not think it would serve any useful purpose if I were to make representations as suggested.
