Sir L. HARMSWORTHasked the Secretary to the Admiralty if he can give an approximate date as to when the 2731W demobilisation of crofters, fishermen, and other priority men in the Navy around Malta will commence; and whether he is aware of the great hardship that is being caused by the delays which are taking place in this matter?
§ Dr. MACNAMARAIt is regretted that no date can be given, but every effort is being made to proceed with demobilisation as quickly as possible. Nearly all priority men are now released.
