MR. KEARLEY (Devonport)

To ask the Secretary to the Admiralty whether it is intended to continue at Malta H.M.S. "Orion," at present employed as a Naval Reserve drill ship for Maltese seamen and stokers, or to supplant it with a vessel of more modern type.

(Answered by Mr. Pretyman.) It is not in contemplation to make any alteration in connection with H.M.S. "Orion" at Malta, or the service on which she is employed.
