HC Deb 19 July 1922 vol 156 c2053
13. Viscount CURZON

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty whether any decision has yet been arrived at with regard to the future of the Coastguard Service?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the ADMIRALTY (Mr. Amery)

I hope that a decision will be reached shortly.

Viscount CURZON

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that the delay in coming to a decision with regard to the Coastguard Service is reacting rather badly on that Service, and that officers and men are getting very anxious?

Mr. AMERY

A decision will be reached as soon as we can, but the question is full of difficulty.
