Former MP for Kingston upon Hull East
asked the First Lord of the Admiralty if he will expedite the return of the Royal Naval College to its home and thus enable the officers and teaching staff to carry on the training of the cadets with greater efficiency than can be done in improvised premises.
I beg to move, in page 1, line 17, after "may," insert: after consultation with associations representing local authorities. I am moving this Amendment in order to elicit from the Minister what is going to hoppen but I would like the Minister to accept this Amendment which has a fair amount of support.

Will the right hon. Gentleman send one of his own officers to see the mouth of the river for himself, and he will then find that it is in a deplorable state?
