§ Mr. Hordernasked the Secretary of State for Defence how many employees of his Department are engaged in dealing with the records of Royal Navy personnel.
§ Mr. FoleyThere are many different kinds of records which relate in one way or another to Royal Navy personnel. Almost all the staff in the Naval personnel field of work deal with one or other type of these records. There are, however, 46 members of the Headquarters staff who work mainly (but not in all cases exclusively) on maintaining the records of service or serving Royal Navy officers and ratings.
