§ Major HORE-BELISHAasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he is aware of a growing grievance among the married men in the Royal Navy and their families, and among the sons of widows and their mothers, at the amount of foreign service which is now exacted; and, whilst it. is recognised that foreign service is necessary, can he see his way when foreign drafts are required to ask, in the first instance, wherever possible, for volunteers, in order that those who desire foreign service may have the first preference, thus giving men with home ties an opportunity of remaining longer near their homes?
