§ 71. Brigadier-General COLVINasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty whether, having regard to the desirability of encouraging the sea-scout movement, favourable terms will be quoted to them for the derelict boats now lying in the dockyards?
§ The CIVIL LORD of the ADMIRALTY (Commander Eyres-Monsell)Applications for boats for units officially recognised receive favourable treatment, inasmuch as facilities are afforded by which boats may be purchased at prices at which they have been laid apart for sale in His Majesty's dockyards, without putting the applicants into the position of having to compete with outside purchasers.
