HC Deb 09 May 1924 vol 173 c782W
Major HORE-BELISHA

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty whether he is aware that the sick-berth staff serving in hospital ships are employed on many duties quite outside their professional duties, such as drawing heavy stores from the dockyards and keeping watch on the gangway; and whether he will take steps to stop this practice?

Mr. AMMON

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given on 30th April to a similar question by the hon. Member for North Portsmouth (Sir B. Falle).
