§ Mr. Fellasked the First Lord of the Admiralty how many Extended Service Commission naval officers have volunteered to serve for the second period of service.
§ Mr. J. P. L. ThomasUp to date 152 Extended Service Commission officers in the different branches of the Royal Navy have volunteered to serve for a second period of service. It is expected, however, that during the next six months further volunteers will be forthcoming from the Executive Branch, as many of these officers have not yet reached the stage at which they are required to make a decision.
§ Mr. Fellasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether further permanent commissions are to be granted to the Extended Service Commission naval officer before May, 1953.
§ Mr. J. P. L. ThomasNo. It is not the intention to grant further permanent commissions in the Royal Navy to officers who now hold Extended Service Commissions.
