§ 75. Mr. EYRES-MONSELLasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether, in view of the fact that the Goodwood race meeting is the one meeting in the year easily accessible to and keenly appreciated by a number of naval officers, and in view of the lack of amenities appertaining to modern naval service, he will arrange that, if possible, the Home fleet may be in harbour during the last week in July?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLSir. I fear that the exigencies of the Service render this impossible; but a full period of leave will be given to all ranks now that the manæuvres are concluded.
§ Mr. HOGGEWill the right hon. Gentleman arrange the movements of the Fleet in the Firth of Forth in order that the men may be able to attend some whippet races?
