§ ADMIRAL FIELD (Sussex, Eastbourne)asked the Secretary to the Admiralty, Whether arrangements can be made for the coastguard men now embarked for their summer cruise to return to their respective districts, for the purpose of recording their votes in time for the forthcoming Election, by shortening the duration of the cruise, or otherwise?
§ THE SECRETARY TO THE ADMIRALTY (Mr. HIBBERT) (Oldham)I regret that it will not be practicable to curtail the cruise of the Reserve Squadron in order that the Coastguardsmen shall be back for the General Election.
