HC Deb 30 April 1919 vol 115 c158
Mr. PENNEFATHER (by Private Notice)

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty the cause of the delay in the announcement of the Admiralty proposals with regard to the pay of the Navy?

The FIRST LORD of the ADMIRALTY (Mr. Long)

The whole question is now before the Cabinet, and I confidently hope to be in a position to make an announcement next week.

Sir C. KINLOCH-COOKE

When will the Report of Admiral Jerram's Committee be published?

Mr. LONG

We do not propose to publish the Report, but only the conclusions of the Government on it.

Sir C. KINLOCH-COOKE

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware of the great dissatisfaction in the Navy with regard to the non-publication of the Report?

Mr. LONG

No, Sir; and I do not see how there can be dissatisfaction when no announcement has been made.
