§ MR. EDMUND ROBERTSON (Dundee)I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether he will take the opinion of the Committee of Defence on the possibility of making arrangements whereby the new director of naval education may also be charged with the direction of military education.
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURI will not otter any opinion as to whether this is or is not a proper subject to be dealt with by the Committee of Defence. That Committee is at present occupied with subjects far beyond the Departmental range suggested by the hon. Gentleman, and they certainly have not time to deal with this question at the present moment.
