Captain FABERasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he is aware that the Director of Naval Intelligence was assisted by five assistant directors of naval intelligence, of whom four were executive officers and one a marine officer; and whether he can state how many assistant directors of naval intelligence have now been appointed under the recent re-organisation?
§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the ADMIRALTY (Dr. Macnamara)The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. The second part affects the details of the new organisation, the announcement of which it is undesirable to anticipate. It will be made known in due course.
Captain FABERasked the First Lord of the Admiralty if he will state on what dates Captains Campbell and Hulbert took up their appointments of assistants to the Director of Naval Intelligence; and what was the last day on which they were employed at the office?
§ Dr. MACNAMARAThese officers were appointed as Assistants to the Director of Naval Intelligence respectively on 25th August, 1906, and 27th March, 1909. The 7th August and the 1st July were the last days on which they were respectively on duty at the Admiralty.
