§ 81. Sir CLEMENT KINLOCH-COOKEasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he is aware that the sick-berth staff employed on His Majesty's ship "Powerful" are placed at a disadvantage in comparison with similar staffs on other ships with regard to leave; that there appears to be some misapprehension as to the regulations governing the wearing of plain clothes when on shore by the sick-berth staff on His Majesty's ship "Powerful"; and will he cause inquiries to be made into these matters?
Mr. LAMBERT (Civil Lord of the Admiralty)Inquiry shall be made, but no report had been received on this subject. The Regulations provide for the procedure to be adopted should any petty officer or man consider that he has been unjustly treated.
