HC Deb 21 February 1945 vol 408 c792
59. Commander Prior

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty what were the reasons for the appointment of a civilian instead of a captain R.N. as head of the Royal Hospital School.

Mr. Alexander

The appointment of a headmaster as head of the Royal Hospital School, Holbrook, was one of a number of measures designed to raise the educational standard of the school and to widen its curriculum.
