§ 18. Mr. HORE-BELISHAasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether it is proposed to convert His Majesty's Ship "Iron Duke" into a training ship for boys at Devonport?
§ Mr. AMMONThere is no intention of using His Majesty's Ship "Iron Duke" as a training ship for boys at Devonport. The ship is being retained under the terms of the London Naval Treaty as a gunnery training ship. Work of demilitarisation will commence in three months' time, after which she will be taken in hand at Devonport for conversion to her new service, probably before the end of the current calendar year.
§ Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYIs she to be a sea-going training ship or a harbour training ship?
