HC Deb 23 July 1919 vol 118 cc1342-3
19. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty the reason that hostility ratings and time-expired men of His Majesty's ship "Walker," now in the Baltic, have not been returned home for demobilisation; and whether ho is aware that when they were ordered to the Baltic they were promised relief within six weeks' time and that this period has now been considerably exceeded and no reliefs have yet arrived?

Dr. MACNAMARA

Reliefs for all demobilisable men in His Majesty's ship "Walker" have already been sent to that vessel in the Baltic. Owing to the distance and movement of vessels, their arrival is uncertain. If, however, they have not already arrived, they should do so very shortly.
