Captain COOTEasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty whether Ordinary-Seaman James E. Cole was discharged from the Mercantile Marine Reserve on 6th January, 1920, without his mercantile marine discharge book, without which he cannot get a berth on any ship; and whether he will have the book forwarded to Mr. Cole at Ecklinville, Tinker's Drove, Wisbech, without delay?
§ Dr. MACNAMARAI am assured that every effort has been made to trace this man's mercantile discharge book, but without success. Steps have been taken to provide a duplicate, which it is hoped will be sent to the man in a day or two.
