§ MR. EDMUND ROBERTSON (Dundee)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty whether the curriculum for the first four years of training for naval officers under the new system has yet been settled; and, if so, whether it will be laid at once upon the Table of the House.
§ THE SECRETARY TO THE ADMIRALTY (Mr. ARNOLD-FORSTER,) Belfast, W.The new curriculum has not yet been settled. Before arriving at a definite conclusion with respect to it, the Admiralty desire to obtain advice from those qualified to form an opinion as to the subjects to be studied, the time to be devoted to each subject, etc. When the 1106 curriculum is settled I shall be glad to lay a copy of it on the Table of the House.
§ MR. EDMUND ROBERTSONIs there any chance of the information being given before the Estimates are taken?
§ MR. ARNOLD-FORSTERI am afraid not.
