§ Sir B. FALLEasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he will reconsider the answer given to Request No. 3 of Group VIII at the 1924 Welfare Conference and amend the Regulations to the effect that sick-berth ratings who have passed provisional examinations, and who fail at the first attempt to pass finally, shall lose only the seniority equal to the period between the first final attempt and date of subsequent passing?
Mr. DAVIDSONThe existing rule is considered to be a fair one, and no reason is seen for any change.
