Colonel BURNasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty if he will extend the period for which parents are allowed the option of withdrawing a boy from the Royal Naval College, Dartmouth, with a grant of £300, beyond the date originally fixed, 15th July, 1920, as no one could anticipate the decision to be arrived at by the Washington Conference, by which the personnel of the Navy was so greatly reduced?
§ Mr. AMERYOwing to the small number of entries into Dartmouth during the last three years, it will not be necessary to make further reductions in the number of cadets.
