§ MR. KEARLEY (Devonport)I beg-to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty 726 whether it is true that, in consequence of the great dearth of executive officers of the junior grades in the Navy, it has been determined by the Admiralty to offer appointments on the Active List to a number of executive officers of the Royal Naval Reserve?
*SIR U. KAY-SHUTTLE WORTHNo, Sir; there is no foundation for a report to this effect that has appeared in. some of the newspapers.
