§ Mr. YERBURGHasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether the Admiralty have perfected the organisation of their scheme for conveying information to merchant vessels at sea on the outbreak of war; and whether they are satisfied that orders of the Admiralty conveyed through the admirals by His Majesty's ships to our merchant ships would be understood?
§ The FIRST LORD of the ADMIRALTY (Mr. McKenna)I am unable to make any statement upon the matters referred to in the question.
§ Mr. YERBURGHHas the right hon. Gentleman's attention been directed to this matter?
§ Mr. McKENNAYes, but I think the hon. Gentleman will agree with me that it would be undesirable to go into particulars.
