§ 30. Lord C. BERESFORDasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he can now make a statement with regard to the position of temporary surgeons in the Royal Navy?
§ Dr. MACNAMARAThe question has been carefully considered, but it has not been found possible to arrive at a satisfactory solution of the difficulty referred to by the Noble Lord in his question of the 18th of February
§ Lord C. BERESFORDWill the right hon. Gentleman give further consideration to the question?
§ Dr. MACNAMARAAs the Noble Lord knows, complicated questions of relative rank are involved, and we do not see our way out of the difficulty at present. I shall be very glad to confer with the Noble Lord upon the matter.
