§ 29. Mr. HOGGEasked whether advantage will be taken of the present circumstances to remove the naval recruiting station from Johnston Terrace, Edinburgh, to a more prominent thoroughfare where the advantages of joining the Navy could be more prominently displayed?
§ Dr. MACNAMARAAs far as I am aware, the premises at Johnston Terrace, Edinburgh, which I understand have been used as a Naval and Marine recruiting offices for many years, meet all requirements in the existing circumstances, and I do not think that there are sufficient reasons for making a change. Recruiting is quite satisfactory, and it would appear that if greater activity should be necessary a more fruitful plan than the payment of higher rentals would be expenditure on advertisements in local newspapers and on posters.
§ Sir C. KINLOCH-COOKEDoes the rght hon. Gentleman mean that recruiting on the whole is satisfactory?
§ Dr. MACNAMARANo, I did not say so. I am answering this question.
