§ 3. Sir C. KINLOCH-COOKEasked the First Lord of the Admiralty when it is proposed to inaugurate the two years' system with regard to relieving the crew of His Majesty's ship "Recovery"; and can he say when this ship may be expected to return to Devonport?
§ Dr. MACNAMARAIt is proposed to inaugurate the system of relieving the crew of the "Recovery" after two years' service in that vessel as soon as convenient arrangements can be made. I may, however, point out that the whole of the officers and crew of that vessel, with the exception of one man, have been relieved since June, 1912. It cannot be stated at present when the vessel may be expected to return to Devonport.
§ Sir C. KINLOCH-COOKEAm I to assume from the answer that these men will stay there for another year?
§ Dr. MACNAMARAI cannot add to the answer which I have already given.
