HC Deb 02 June 1913 vol 53 cc609-10W
Mr. FALLE

asked the Secretary to the Admiralty the annual amount spent on warrants issued to officers and men of the Navy travelling on duty in the United Kingdom and in the Empire, respectively?

Dr. MACNAMARA

Assuming that the question refers to railway and local steamboat conveyance, the amounts spent during the last three financial years on warrants issued to officers and men of the Royal Navy travelling on duty in the United Kingdom are as follows:—

£
1910–11 95,800
1911–12 94,700
1912–13 106,700
The amounts similarly spent in other parts of the Empire are not separately recorded. They are, however, inconsiderable. I may point out that warrants are not used in the case of steamship passages, oversea.
