Warrant Officers (Status)

HC Deb 30 July 1947 vol 441 c450

68. Commander Noble

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty whether he will make a statement after consideration of the report of the recent committee on the status, etc. of warrant officers.

Mr. Dugdale

Yes, Sir. I will communicate with the hon. and gallant Member when I am in a position to make a statement.

Commander Noble

Can the Parliamentary Secretary say when the statement can be expected, and also will he give an assurance that all reasonable demands put forward by the warrant officers themselves will be given every consideration?

Mr. Dugdale

All reasonable demands will be given every consideration, but I naturally cannot make any promise as vet. I hope we shall be in a position to make a statement shortly after the Recess.
