asked the Minister for Defence if his Department have yet reached a decision on the training of apprentices in the naval dockyard, Haulbowline.

I regret that it has not yet been found possible to reach a decision.
Is the Minister aware that I have received that reply practically every four or five months since 1948? If it takes the Department of Defence ten years to make up their mind, in regard to such a very simple matter, what hope can we have if there was ever a war?
