§ MR. GILHOOLY (Cork Co., W.)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty whether, in view of the fact that a considerable number of boys from West Cork enter the Naval Service, and that Bantry Bay is frequently used for Naval Manœuvres, he will consider the advisability of establishing a training ship in Bantry Bay?
§ DR. FOX (King's Co., Tullamore)At the same time, may I ask the right hon. Gentleman whether he will devote an obsolete ship to the establishment of a Naval Training School in Cork Harbour?
SIB U. KAY-SHUTTLEWORTHIt is not intended to increase the number of boys' training ships at present. Should this become desirable in the future, the suitability of Cork Harbour and Bantry Bay for the establishment of a Boys' Training School will be considered.
