HC Deb 07 July 1948 vol 453 cc33-4W
64. Mr. Bossom

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty if he is aware that the present system of weekly training nights for the R.N.V.R. is very inconvenient for many volunteers; and if he will consider introducing longer periods of training to be held fortnightly or monthly, or intensive week-end courses, in lieu of weekly training nights.

Mr. Dugdale

The present system of R.N.V.R. training is designed to suit the convenience of the majority of officers and men. The difficulties experienced by those who live at a distance from a divisional headquarters are, however, receiving careful consideration.
