HC Deb 12 March 1924 vol 170 c2306
25. Mr. MILLS

asked the Civil Lord of the Admiralty if he has sanctioned the despatch of a relief crew to the gunboat "Glow-worm," chief ship of the Danube flotilla; and whether he will consider the recall of the whole flotilla?

Mr. AMMON

The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. As regards the second part of the question, the Danube flotilla has been withdrawn, with the exception of H.M.S. "Glow-worm."

Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHY

How long is it intended to keep the "Glow-worm" out there?

Mr. AMMON

As long as it continues to shine with any advantage.

Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHY

Is the hon. Gentleman aware that the officers and crew of this vessel are getting no sea training at all?
