HC Deb 21 July 1930 vol 241 c1742
59 and 60. Mr. HORE-BELISHA

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty (1) when the evidence taken by and the report of the committee of inquiry into the mate scheme will be published;

(2) what method of inquiry is being adopted for obtaining the views of ex-mate and flag and commanding officers on the defects of the mate scheme; whether the committee is to visit the home ports and take evidence; and whether he will issue an Admiralty Fleet Order on the subject and include in it the composition of the committee and its terms of reference?

Mr. ALEXANDER
