Motion made, and Question proposed,
That a sum, not exceeding £2,844,900, be granted to His Majesty, to defray the Expense of non-effective Services (naval and marine), officers, which will come in course of payment during the year ending on the 31st day of March, 1924.
§ The Committee proceeded to a Division, and the Chairman stated that he thought the "Ayes" had it. On his decision being challenged, it appeared to him that the Division was unnecessarily claimed, and, accordingly, he called upon the Members who supported and who challenged his decision successively to rise in their places, and he declared that the "Ayes" had it.
