HC Deb 16 April 1930 vol 237 c2917W
Mr. HORE-BELISHA

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty the reason why His Majesty's Ship "Cornwall," which was built at Devonport and at present has a Devonport crew, is in future to be a Portsmouth-manned ship?

Mr. ALEXANDER

The change referred to is part of a scheme which will have the effect of reducing the time spent by Devonport ratings on foreign service and increasing the time spent on home service.
