11. Vice-Admiral CAMPBELLasked the First Lord of the Admiralty how many officers of the Royal Navy and Marines, respectively, were employed at the Admiralty and borne on the books of His Majesty's ship "President" on the following dates, 1st January, 1914, and 1st January, 1933; and what were the numbers of the personnel of the Royal Navy on these dates?
Sir B. EYRES MONSELLThe number of Naval and Marine Officers employed at the Admiralty, etc. on the 1st January, 1914, was 121. The personnel of the Royal Navy and Royal Marines on the same date numbered 144,554. The corresponding figures for the 1st January, 1933, were 212 and 90,037. The increase in the number of Naval and Marine Officers at the Admiralty, etc. is of course mainly due to the formation of a Naval Staff, which did not exist before the War.
