§ 67. Sir B. FALLEasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty the number of chief stokers allowed in the complement of Port Edgar base and the number actually borne; and whether, in view of the curtailed Home service of chief stokers, he will arrange for any chief stokers borne in excess of complement to be discharged to their Home ports?
Mr. DAVIDSONThe number actually borne is three, but a reduction to the allowed complement of two will be made in the near future.
