§ Sir B. FALLEasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty whether, in view of the fact that a number of naval ratings granted compassionate leave from foreign stations during the last six months have not fully understood the conditions under which such leave was granted and their responsibility in the matter of return fares, a Fleet Order may be issued stating all the conditions in plain language?
Mr. DAVIDSONI am not aware that there has been any recent misunderstanding on this subject but, to prevent all possibility of any such misunderstanding occurring, the Fleet Order which deals with the matter will be revised and re-issued.
