§ MR. HARMSWORTH (Caithness)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty whether, during the recent stay of the Mediterranean Fleet at Gibraltar, the letters for the fleet were undelivered for a period of nearly a week; and, if so, will he give the name of the officer responsible for this neglect.
§ MR. ARNOLD-FORSTERThe delay in the mails was due to the alteration in the date of the fleet leaving Gibraltar, which was postponed from 29th June to 9th July.
