HC Deb 20 May 1914 vol 62 cc1924-5
1. Mr. KING

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether information in the form of a. Command Paper or a statement in Parliament will be given concerning the results of the naval manœuvres of 1912 and 1913; and whether the results of the manœuvres or trial mobilisations will in the future be published?

The FINANCIAL SECRETARY to the ADMIRALTY (Dr. Macnamara)

The reply to the first part of the question is in the negative. As regards the latter part, each case will be considered on its merits; but my right hon. Friend does not anticipate that the publication of results would usually be in the public interest.
