§ 1. Mr. George Wallaceasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty to what extent accounting branches of his Department are using modern methods of mechanised accounting.
§ The Parliamentary and Financial Secretary to the Admiralty (Mr. John Dugdale)In the majority of Admiralty departments concerned, modern methods of mechanised accounting are either in use or on trial.
§ Lieut.-Commander Gurney BraithwaiteNow that the W.R.N.S. have been retained as a permanent part of the Service, would they not be considered suitable for this work?
§ Mr. DugdaleI have no doubt that they would be very useful indeed.
