§ Mr. WEDGWOODasked whether the right hon. Gentleman would appoint a committee to inquire into the status and powers of the engineer officers of His Majesty's Navy, especially with a view to harmonise the position of such officers and that of similar officers under the new scheme of training?
§ Mr. McKENNANo, Sir, the Admiralty do not intend to appoint a special committee; but the Board are keeping the circumstances, of which they are fully apprised, continually in their view.
§ Mr. WEDGWOODDoes that answer mark any advance up to now?
§ Mr. McKENNAI do not think it is any advance.
§ Mr. WEDGWOODHas there been any change of opinion?
§ Mr. McKENNAI do not think any change is necessary.
