§ MR. WEIR (Ross and Cromarty)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty whether, in view of the strong opinion expressed by the Committee on the Royal Naval Reserve, presided over by Admiral Sir George Tryon in 1891, in favour of a period of training on board ship for Royal Naval Reserve men, effect will be given to the recommendation by sending a drillship to Stornoway?
THE SECRETARY TO THE ADMIRALTY (Sir U. KAY-SHUTTLE-WORTH,) Lancashire, ClitheroeThe importance of training the Royal Naval Reserve men on board ship is fully recognised by the Board of Admiralty; the mode of giving effect to the principle has not yet been finally decided upon.
