Captain FABERasked the First Lord if he will state whether it is the official rule that a register should be kept of the recipients of all confidential documents and a signed receipt given in each case for the same at the Admiralty; and, if so, whether this rule was observed in the case of the Bacon and Mann letters, and also of the document in which one First Sea Lord took credit to himself for saving seven millions over Rosyth?
§ Mr. McKENNANo, Sir. There is no such general rule.
