HC Deb 05 March 1924 vol 170 cc1362-3
27. Sir B. FALLE

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty whether, in view of the doubt now prevalent amongst naval officers and ratings as to the intentions of the Board of Admiralty in the revised wording of Article 218 of the King's Regulations and Admiralty instructions contained in King's Regulation 16 of June, 1922, and King's Regulation 6 of December, 1922, he will issue a plain worded statement for the information of all concerned?

Mr. AMMON

I am not aware that there is any doubt as to the meaning of the Article referred to.

Sir B. FALLE

Has the hon. Gentleman read the Regulation?

Mr. AMMON

I can tell the hon. Member that I got it out specially to read it when he put this question to me.
