HC Deb 26 July 1926 vol 198 c1713W
Sir B. FALLE

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty if the site of the Greenwich Royal Hospital School, Greenwich, will be sold when the school itself is removed to the new site; and if the money so obtained will be used to increase the number of scholars and for their benefit or for what other purpose?

Mr. BRIDGEMAN

It is under consideration to utilise the land and buildings comprising the Royal Hospital School at Greenwich, after they have been vacated by the school, as an extension of the present Royal Naval College, Greenwich, and to pay over to Greenwich Hospital funds from Navy Votes a correspondingly increased rent for the Royal Naval College. Any increased revenue from this source would be used for the general purposes of Greenwich Hospital. The complement of the school is 1,000 boys, and it is not intended to increase this.
