§ MR. LOCKIE (Devonport)To ask the Secretary to the Admiralty whether he will make arrangements that relief drafts from Devonport shall join the transport there instead of being sent to Chatham.
(Answered by Mr. Arnold-Forster.) The arrangements in any particular case are those which it is found practicable to make with the company in whose vessel the passages are engaged. When the number of men who would embark from Devonport is small it is not practicable to arrange for a ship, starting from London and not calling at Plymouth in her regular course, to call there specially.
