§ 90. Sir C. KINLOCH-COOKEasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he can see his way to confirm in the substantive rank of storehousemen those men who have held the position of acting storehousemen in the Royal William Yard, Plymouth, on various dates since 1st August, 1914.
§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the ADMIRALTY (Dr. Macnamara)The question of confirming a few acting Storehousemen at Royal William Yard and the other victualling yards is under consideration, but the numbers to be confirmed must be limited to actual vacancies in the permanent staff, which, I am advised, are quite few in number.
