HC Deb 01 November 1929 vol 231 cc481-2W
Sir B. FALLE

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether an opportunity will be afforded for senior active service officers' stewards and cooks to give evidence before the Committee appointed to investigate the entry, training, and employment of officers' stewards and cooks?

Mr. AMMON

If such evidence be necessary to the investigations, it will naturally be called for in due course.

Sir B. FALLE

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty if he is aware that no representative of the officers' stewards branch is present at professional examinations for higher rating of members of this branch; and whether he will authorise the addition of an officers' chief steward to the Examining Board?

Mr. AMMON

The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative; and to the second, that no reason is seen for altering the composition of this and similar Examining Boards.
