Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether cadets in the three cadet forces are allowed to attend any function where alcohol is served for adults.

Cadets may be allowed to attend functions where alcohol is served for adults. Alcohol should not be served at events where cadets are present ‘at the table’, for example at a formal dinner. However, if cadets attend in another capacity, such as stair lining, serving of alcohol would be permitted to adults. There is a strict no-drinking policy for cadets or Cadet Force Adult Volunteers on duty.
