§ MR. CHARLES M'ARTHUR (Liverpool, Exchange)To ask the Secretary to the Admiralty whether he can state the total amount expended annually in maintaining the Naval training ships, the number of boys so trained, and the average annual cost per boy.
(Answer.) The information asked for in the Question will take some time to compile, and when compiled could not properly be compressed into the limits of an answer. If, however, the hon. Member will move for the information in the form of a Return, I shall be happy to furnish it.—(Admiralty.)
