§ 28. Admiral of the Fleet Sir Roger Keyesasked the First Lord of the Admiralty why chief and petty officers of very good character, who have served for several years in His Majesty's yacht "Victoria and Albert," have been reverted to the rating of able seamen and stokers on reversion to general service consequent on the royal yacht being paid off?
§ 30. Major Sir Jocelyn Lucasasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he is aware of the feeling of injustice felt by petty officers of His Majesty's yacht who have reverted to their former ratings through no fault of their own as a result of the royal yacht going out of commission; and what steps he proposes to take in the matter?
§ Mr. ChurchillThe men concerned have recently submitted representations on this question through the usual Service channels, and these are now under consideration. When a decision has been reached I will communicate it to my hon. and gallant Friends.
