HC Deb 15 July 1971 vol 821 c132W
35. Rear-Admiral Morgan-Giles

asked the Minister of State for Defence what is the present shortfall in officer cadets under training for the British Army at the Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst.

Mr. G. Johnson Smith

At present, Sandhurst has 475 officer cadets under training for the British Army. This is something over half of its potential. We are continuing to take steps to improve our officer recruiting and we expect the next intake to Sandhurst in September to show an improvement.
