§ MR. BELLAIRS (Lynn Regis)To ask the Secretary to the Admiralty when the Coastguard Squadron was abolished; what proportion of the full complement was at that time allotted as crews of the ships; and what will be the proportion of the full complements now that the squadron is to be re-established under the name of the Home Fleet.
518 (Answered by Mr. Edmund Robertson.) The inference is incorrect that the former Coastguard Squadron is to be re-established under the name of the Home Fleet, as the constitution and arrangements are quite different, and any comparisons such as proposed would b fallacious and misleading.
