HC Deb 29 February 1916 vol 80 c879
54. Sir A. MARKHAM

asked the Prime Minister whether, in view, of the fact that the Navy is the senior fighting Service, will he say why His Majesty's Government have not appointed a single naval officer to represent the Navy on the War Council?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

The, Navy is represented on the War Committee by the First Lord of the Admiralty, who has at every meeting been accompanied by one or more naval officers, including invariably either the First Sea Lord or the Chief of the War Staff.
