§ 62. Mr. WATTasked the Secretary to the Admiralty whether the naval officer who was in command of the Scottish Motor-Launch Department is now no longer in charge of that Department; if so, to what Department he is removed; and whether he will have the supervision of his new Department or be in a subsidiary position there?
§ Dr. MACNAMARAI am afraid I fail to gather the purport of my hon. Friend's question. There is no Scottish Motor-Launch Department, nor any special or 1302 separate organisation for dealing with motor-launches in Scottish waters, except as part and parcel of the whole administrative scheme of the Auxiliary Patrol Service. There was a Royal Naval Motor-Boat Reserve Committee, but that was-dissolved in July, 1915. If my hon. Friend has in mind the Scottish Section officer of that Committee, I may say that he is still being employed in Scotland and that there is no intention of removing him.
