HC Deb 27 January 1937 vol 319 c921
14. Mr. Alexander

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty the number of requests received to date under the new reviews of service conditions, the commands, and the number from each command; the commands, if any, from which the reviews are outstanding; and when the Admiralty expect to be able to announce the first and last instalment of replies?

Lord Stanley

The requests from all commands have now been received at the Admiralty, and total over 4,000. I am unable to give the exact total or the exact number from each command, as different systems of compilation have been used on various stations. I am not at present able to say when the Admiralty expect o issue either the first or the final instalment of their decisions; but I can assure the right hon. Member that it will be as soon as possible.

Mr. Alexander

Can the Noble Lord give any date on which a further question might be put down?

Lord Stanley

I hope that the first main batch, at any rate, will be dealt with during the next few weeks.
