HC Deb 16 March 1911 vol 22 c2574W
Viscount MORPETH

asked which are the Educational authorities in the United Kingdom who have been granted the privilege of selecting candidates for entry as boy artificers in the Navy, under Rules 18 and 19 of the Regulations for the entry and Training of Boy Artificers in His Majesty's Navy; and on what principle the educational authorities are selected who have been given this privilege?

Mr. McKENNA

A selection has been made of those local educational authorities which were considered most likely to supply suitable candidates, and in this connection I would refer the Noble Lord to the reply I gave on 2nd March last to my hon. Friend the Member for Rox-burgshire. I am considering the question of the propriety of publishing the list, but I must observe that it is a very long one, and in any case could not be given in answer to a question.
