§ Mr. CROOKEasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty whether he will, in conjunction with the Minister of Pensions, consider the advisability of utlising obsolete battleships, after being dismantled, as floating sanatoria for ex-service men who are suffering from tuberculosis caused by war service?
§ Mr. AMMONThere are no obsolete battleships available for such a purpose, for which, moreover, I am advised they would be most unsuitable.
