50 Sea Cadets from across the UK took part in a debating competition on Saturday 2 November at RAF Cranwell, Lincoln. They were given extensive training about how to structure a debate. They competed against each other debating whether national service should be compulsory, and if troops should be able to opt out of wars if they personally disagree with the conflict.

David from Chester and Staffordshire District, John from East Kent District, Bryony from North East Yorkshire District, and Alex and Sam from Tyne South District won the final debate on the day. They will join Army and Air Cadets at the national debating competition at House of Lords on Friday 29 November.
