HC Deb 26 November 1919 vol 121 cc1766-7
14. Viscount CURZON

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he is yet in a position to make any announcement as to the future of all classes of Naval Reserves?

Dr. MACNAMARA

The future of the Naval Reserves is a question which must obviously be considered in relation to the general requirements of the post-war Fleet. It is engaging the attention of the Admiralty, but no announcement can yet be made as to the decisions likely to be reached.

Viscount CURZON

Can the right hon. Gentleman give any indication when it is likely to be reached?

Dr. MACNAMARA

Not at present, but directly I can I will let my hon. and gallant Friend know.

Captain TERRELL

Is there an up-to-date record of the whereabouts of the men who served in the Royal Naval Reserve?

Dr. MACNAMARA

I could not say offhand, but it does not arise out of the question, and perhaps the hon. and gallant Member will give notice.

Captain TERRELL

Will the right hon. Gentleman consider it?

Dr. MACNAMARA

I will.
