HC Deb 03 August 1910 vol 19 cc2747-8W
Sir CLEMENT KINLOCH - COOKE

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty, whether he was aware that H.M.S. "Triumph" and H.M.S. "Swiftsure" have been away for over twelve months; and, in these circumstances, will the Admiralty consider the possibility of giving leave to the men on these ships before returning to their stations?

Mr. McKENNA

Yes, Sir, I am aware that they have been absent over twelve months, but no exception can be made in their case.
