Sea Cadet Corps (Hansard, 21 July 1943)

33. Major Petheriek
asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether, in view of the operation of Statutory Rule and Order, No, 260, of 1943, it will be possible for Sea Scouts to obtain any sea training this year in the area affected by the Order?

Mr. Alexander
Yes, Sir. Admiralty instructions under this Order provide that permits may be granted to vessels used exclusively for the purpose of pre-entry training by units of the Sea Cadet Corps or by recognised troops of the Sea Scouts.

§ Major Petherick
May I ask my right hon. Friend when these instructions were sent out, in view of the fact that there is some doubt whether they are individual instructions? Was it after my Question was put down?

Mr. Alexander
No, Sir, before the hon. Member's Question was put down.
