§ Major Sir B. FALLE(by Private Notice) asked the First Lord of the Admiralty if the petty officers and men of His Majesty's ship "Donovan," now temporarily in home waters from Gibraltar, have been refused leave to visit their homes, and, if so, why?
§ Dr. MACNAMARAHis Majesty's ship "Donovan" arrived in home waters on 29th June and left for Gibraltar on 1st July, being urgently required at that port. There was, therefore, I regret to say, no opportunity to give leave. The ship, I may add, commissioned in August last and left England in September last.
