HC Deb 20 February 1919 vol 112 c1166W
Colonel CECIL MALONE

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he would consider the appointment of a Welfare Department at the Admiralty to deal with representations from the lower deck, such a Department to deal with conditions of life without prejudice to discipline?

Dr. MACNAMARA

A standing committee under the presidency of a flag officer has been in existence for some time, and inquires into and makes suggestions on matters of this nature. The Board now has under consideration certain proposals for extending the scope and usefulness of this committee.
