Lord H. CAVENDISH BENTINCKasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether, in view of the importance of the midshipmen in His Majesty's Navy knowing how to swim, he will authorise the provision of a swimming-bath at Osborne College?
§ Dr. MACNAMARAThis matter has been under consideration, but has been postponed until the building of a new college is decided upon. In the meantime, no difficulty is experienced in perfecting the swimming of the cadets whilst at Dartmouth.
