HC Deb 24 June 1925 vol 185 c1535W
Sir B. FALLE

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether the boys in the Upper Nautical Division of the Royal Hospital School at Greenwich receive a specialist nautical training?

Mr. DAVIDSON

The boys in the Upper Nautical Division of the Royal Hospital School, Greenwich, do not receive a specialist nautical training, except that those who are candidates for entry into the Royal Navy as Seamen Boys, during their last three months, spend half time in school and the remainder at instruction in the elements of seamanship.
