§ MR. BELLAIRSI beg to ask the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he will consent to the publication of the Director of Naval Education's instructions to examiners by which the present system of education of naval cadets at Dartmouth is tested; and whether the Director of Naval Education under the Board of Admiralty is responsible for the system.
§ MR. McKENNAThe Answer to the first part of the hon. Member's Question is in the negative. The Director of Naval Education under the Board of Admiralty is responsible for the system of examination at Dartmouth.
§ *MR. BELLAIRSIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that some of the examination questions have leaked out to the cadets? Will he give me access to the instructions to the examiners?
§ MR. McKENNAI am not aware of the alleged fact that the papers have been given to the cadets. I do not believe it can be true. I cannot give the hon. Member access to the instructions.
