HC Deb 29 March 1920 vol 127 cc883-4
75. Sir OWEN PHILIPPS

asked the President of the Board of Education whether he can yet state the decision of His Majesty's Government with regard to the Report of the Departmental Committee on Sea Training?

Mr. FISHER

The answer is in the negative. I would refer the hon. Member to the answer which I gave on the 22nd instant to the hon. Member for the Tradeston Division of Glasgow.

Sir O. PHILIPPS

In view of the great necessity for pressing on this question, will the right hon. Gentleman favourably consider pressing forward the decision?

Mr. FISHER

It is a very important question affecting a great number of Departments. It is being very carefully considered, and I can assure my hon. Friend that no time will be lost.
