§ 40. Mr. CROOKSasked the Secretary to the Admiralty whether a man in the Fleet who, when in the Reserve, was granted permission to become a borough council candidate and was elected is at liberty to address meetings of his constituents in uniform?
§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the ADMIRALTY (Dr. Macnamara)The ordinary rule of the Service is that men belonging to the Reserves when called up for active service during war are expected to wear uniform on all occasions. If my right hon. Friend will communicate to me the actual circumstances of the case which he has in mind. I shall be glad to inquire into it and to inform him whether it is considered to require the application of any other rule.
