§ 20. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYasked what is the present monthly consumption of coal for the Royal Navy; and what is the present monthly consumption of oil fuel?
§ Dr. MACNAMARACareful consideration has been given to the further question of my hon. and gallant Friend, and I have to inform him it is still considered undesirable to publish the figures relating to the Navy expenditure of coal and oil. He may rest assured, however, that consumption is limited to the bare necessities of operations and movements.
