15. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty if he is aware that arrangements are being made to celebrate in October next the bicentenary of the great navigator Captain Cook at his Yorkshire birthplace and home of Marton; and whether, in view of Captain Cook's great services, he will favourably consider Royal Naval representation at the celebrations in his memory?

Lieut.-Colonel HEADLAM

Arrangements will be made for one of His Majesty's ships to be off the coast near Middlesbrough as soon as the definite date of the celebrations is known.
