HC Deb 01 May 1919 vol 115 c342W
Mr. HIGHAM

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty why officers in the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve were asked to volunteer for the Army of Occupation under General Routine Order No. 330, why they were then told they could not withdraw their names under Order No. 362 and yet in Order No, 364 they are told they cannot volunteer for service in the Army of Occupation; and, in view of this fact, will he explain why officers in the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve are not allowed to volunteer for the Army of Occupation?

Mr. CHURCHILL

The matter is being investigated. I will let my hon. Friend know the result in due course.
