HC Deb 04 March 1931 vol 249 cc373-4
14. Mr. THOMAS LEWIS

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether in order to propagate information about the Navy as a career and to expound the advantages of naval education, he will arrange in future for an Admiralty representative to attend the conferences of head-masters such as that at Cheltenham in December last which was attended by the assistant commandant at Sandhurst as an Army representative?

Mr. ALEXANDER

The whole question of propagating information about Naval Cadetships is under consideration.

Mr. ANNESLEY SOMERVILLE

Is there any lack of candidates for naval cadetships at the present time?

Mr. ALEXANDER

We have always had a very good supply of candidates for these cadetships.
