§ MR. KNATCHBULL-HUGESSEN (Kent, Faversham)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty whether there has been any exceptional advantage, as regards leave granted to the men, as compared with the officers engaged in the past Naval Manœuvres; and, if so, why?
SIR U. KAY-SHUTTLEWORTHNo such comparison as the question suggests can fairly be made. I informed the hon. Gentleman on Friday last what leave had, in the usual course, been granted to officers who served in the Naval Manœuvres. To the men seven days' leave has been given.
