13. Sir R. Young

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether there is any person designated the publicity officer of the Royal Navy; and, if so, what are his exact duties, his rank and qualifications, and the salary paid to him?

Sir S. Hoare

There is no person designated publicity officer of the Royal Navy. There is, however, at present, in addition to the Admiralty Press officer, a recruiting publicity officer employed on a part-time basis at a salary of £150 per annum. He is a Commander, R.N. (retired), with journalistic experience.
