HC Deb 27 July 1925 vol 187 c61W
Sir B. FALLE

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty, with regard to the senior petty officer of the officers' stewards branch, who is serving in His Majesty's Ship "Curacoa" with Maltese officers' stewards who are senior to him and, consequently, in charge of him, whether he will take steps to relieve him from this position?

Mr. DAVIDSON

As I informed my hon. and gallant Friend on the 16th June (OFFICIAL REPORT, 16th June, col. 1560), no absolute rule can be laid down as to the employment of Maltese ratings in home waters. It is therefore not considered necessary to take any steps in the present case, assuming the facts to be as stated
