HC Deb 15 November 1933 vol 281 c905
21. Sir B. FALLE

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether when opportunity arises for the abolition of the cuts in various civil and other services he will take care that the first to benefit from such abolition shall be the Royal Navy?

Sir B. EYRES MONSELL

I think it is clear that no Minister responsible for only one of the Services affected by the economy cuts is entitled to give such an assurance.
