HC Deb 03 December 1930 vol 245 c2198
11. Mr. MARKHAM

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty if copies of all Admiralty minutes relating to leading men will be furnished officially to the honorary secretary of the Leading Men's Association?

Mr. ALEXANDER

I regret that this is not possible, but if the secretary of this association desires to obtain a copy of any particular order affecting the grade he may obtain it on application to the Admiralty.

Mr. MARKHAM

Is it not possible that a similar privilege could be extended to other organisations?

Mr. ALEXANDER

A general distribution is only made to those unions that are represented on the Whitley Council, and I am unable to go further than promise the hon. Member that if any association of the kind that he mentions wants an order applying to their particular grade I shall be very happy to supply it.
