HC Deb 04 February 1959 vol 599 cc67-8W
Sir S. Summers

asked the Minister of Defence if he will compile a statement showing for recent comparative periods the number of applications from officers of the three separate Services for educational allowances, and the number which were rejected on the grounds that the applicant is unlikely to remain in his present place of duty for more than four years.

Mr. Sandys

This precise information is not available, but very few such applications are refused.
