HC Deb 09 April 1913 vol 51 c1152
16. Mr. EYRES-MONSELL

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether the publication of signals from the signal logs of His Majesty's ships is contrary to the King's Regulations and Admiralty instructions; and, if so, what steps he proposes to take with regard to the recent article in the "British Review" written by Admiral Sir Percy Scott, Baronet?

Mr. CHURCHILL

The incident referred to does not appear to me to call for Admiralty action.

Mr. EYRES-MONSELL

Will the same leniency be shown in future to others under similar circumstances?

Mr. CHURCHILL

The Admiralty will certainly approach the consideration of all questions of this character with a view to the impartial exercise of disciplinary authority which they possess, and the maintenance of the general interests of the Naval Service.
