§ 13. Viscount CURZONasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he can make some statement as to when the Report of the first Welfare Committee and the Admiralty decisions thereon will be promulgated to the Fleet; and, if not, whether he can give a definite assurance that this will be done before the second Welfare Committee is called upon to meet?
§ Sir J. CRAIGIt is expected that Admiralty decisions on some points in the Welfare Committee's Report will be given in the near future. No definite assurance can be given that decisions will have been promulgated on all points in the Report before the Welfare Committee meets, and I would refer my Noble and gallant Friend to the reply on this subject given on the 7th instant.
§ Viscount CURZONIs the hon. and gallant Gentleman aware it was stated that the Admiralty decisions would be available before the second Welfare Committee met?
§ Sir J. CRAIGIt is hoped that they will, but no promise can be given in the matter. It is a very complicated matter.
