§ Sir COURTENAY WARNER (by Private Notice)I beg to ask the Prime Minister whether it has been found possible, in accordance with the intention foreshadowed in his recent statement, to obtain the services of a naval officer of flag rank to advise the Foreign Office on questions connected with foreign trade and blockade?
§ Mr. LONGThe answer is in the affirmative. The Prime Minister desires me to say that he is glad to announce that Rear-Admiral Sir Dudley De Chair has consented to undertake those duties, in which his practical experience will be of great value.
