§ 15. Mr. Dayasked the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs what recent conversations have taken place between His Majesty's Government in Great Britain and the Governments of Canada, Australia and New Zealand, and the Union of South Africa for the purpose of establishing more satisfactory methods for removing obstacles that at present exist for those persons desiring to enlist in the Royal Navy; and what recent improvements have been made?
§ Sir T. InskipI am not aware of any such obstacles as are indicated by the hon. Member, but if he will send me particulars of the matters which he has in mind, I shall be very glad to have them examined in the light of the requirements of the Dominion Governments.
§ Mr. DayIs it not a fact that many men in Newfoundland who desire to join the Navy have great difficulty in getting themselves accepted?
§ Sir T. InskipI am not aware of any difficulty except that they are at some distance from these shores.
