§ SIR FREDERICK PERKINSasked the First Lord of the Admiralty, Whether he would consider the advisability, in the interests of the naval service, of placing a ship for the training of boys for the Royal Navy in the Southampton Water, where, notwithstanding the eligibility of the station, there has been no training vessel since the removal of Her Majesty's ship "Boscawen" several years ago.
§ MR. HUNT, in reply, said, the Boscawen had been removed from Southampton to Portland as being a more suitable place for the training of boys. There was no present intention of placing a training ship in Southampton Water.
§ In reply to Mr. WHALLEY,
§ MR. HUNTsaid, that when the regulations respecting training-ships were thoroughly settled, the Papers should be laid upon the Table of the House. He stated generally the other day, when moving the Navy Estimates, that assistance would be given.
