MR. GIBSON BOWLES (Lynn Regis)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty, whether he is able to state the number of Naval cadets for which the new college at Dartmouth will provide accommodation; whether, according to the present numbers entered, and the length of the course, accommodation is required for 260 cadets in all; and, whether, in determining the number to be provided for, any account will be taken of the additional accommodation that will be needed in case the length of the course is increased.
§ MR. ARNOLD-FORSTERThere will be accommodation in the new college at Dartmouth for 264 cadets. There is no present intention on the part of the Admiralty to extend the length of the 959 course; and, it is, therefore, not anticipated that accommodation will be required for any number of cadets in excess of that named.
