§ MR. ANDERSONasked the First Lord of the Admiralty, If his attention has been drawn to one or more Memorials which were sent in, during the recess, by Officers of the Royal Marines, complaining that they had been, improperly superseded; whether he is aware that, in reply to at least one of these, it was said that the Officer had been dealt with according to "existing Regulations," but when the Regulations were asked for they were not forthcoming; and, if the Regulations alluded to are in such form that they, and the Order in Council authorising them, can be referred to or produced?
§ MR. W. H. SMITHMy attention has been given to some Memorials which have been addressed to the Board of Admiralty by officers of the Royal Marines during the Recess. In answer to one of those officers, Colonel Gwyn, that officer was informed that the promotion complained of was made in accordance with the existing Regulations. Those Regulations will be found in the Order in Council authorizing them.
§ MR. ANDERSONWhere can they be referred to?
§ MR. W. H. SMITHThey will be found in the Library.
