§
1. Motion made, and Question proposed,
That 94,482 Officers, Seamen, Boys, and Royal Marines be employed for the Sea Service, together with 888 for the Royal Marine Police, borne on the books of His Majesty's Ships, at the Royal Marine Divisions, and at Royal Air Force Establishments, for the year ending on the 31st day of March, 1935.
§ Mr. D. GRENFELLI beg to move "That 92,482 officers, seamen, boys and Royal Marines be employed."
The House has already had a fairly good Debate, and the hour is advanced. Out of consideration to the feelings of hon. Members on the other side of the House I propose to move the reduction formally.
§ Question put.
§ The Committee divided: Ayes, 35; Noes, 155.
