HC Deb 24 March 1926 vol 193 cc1187-8
10. Mr. BRIANT

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty if the sea boots issued for the use of sailors are actually distributed to them when cleaning the decks and doing similar work?

Mr. DAVIDSON

Sea boots are actually distributed to the men for wear on the occasions when their use is necessary.

Mr. BRIANT

As I have evidence in direct contradiction of the statement, will the hon. Gentleman have instructions given that boots are to be issued, not only to the ships, but to the men as they require them?

Mr. DAVIDSON

I shall be glad to have any evidence which the hon. Member may have obtained.
