§ MR. EDWARDSasked the First Lord of the Admiralty, Whether, 1352 looking to the National importance of the proposed Naval College and to the advantages offered by Weymouth, its harbour and breakwater, for exercising cadets in sailing vessels and navigation, together with the facilities of railway communication, the Government will consent to appoint a Departmental Commission to examine and report on the fitness of Weymouth, before coming to a determination as to the site of the Naval College?
§ MR. HUNT, in reply, said, he trusted the hon. Member would not think him presumptuous if he said he hoped to be able, with the assistance of his Colleagues, to determine the question to which he alluded without the appointment of a Departmental Commission.
