HC Deb 22 October 1919 vol 120 cc2-3
3. Mr. PERRING

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether his attention has been drawn to the promise made by the Chancellor of the Exchequer in his Budget speech making substantial reductions of the war service next year; and whether his Department expects to realise that aspiration?

The FIRST LORD of the ADMIRALTY (Mr. Long)

The answer to both parts of the question is in the affirmative.
