HC Deb 06 December 1922 vol 159 cc1734-5
14. Commander BELLAIRS

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty when the official account of the battle of Jutland is to be issued; and whether Lord Jellicoe has agreed to its issue, without alteration, as it was sent to him last June?

Mr. AMERY

Lord Jellicoe has received the narrative and charts, and will return them, with his comments, at the earliest possible moment. Publication will be arranged as soon as practicable after their return, but, of course, I cannot give any date.

Commander BELLAIRS

Can the right hem. Gentleman give any idea when "the earliest possible moment" is? Is it known that these documents are coming back to this country now—we have waited a long time?

Mr. AMERY

They have been received, and I hope within a very few weeks the comments will come back to us.
