Sir J. DAVIDSONasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether the conditions under which senior naval pharmacists signed their original agreements, entitling them to first-class sea passages, will be restored; and whether the instructions contained in Admiralty Fleet Orders, dated 1st November, 1929, will be rescinded in this respect?
§ Mr. AMMONThe present arrangement has been in force for over 20 years. The question of re-grouping senior pharmacists under the rules relating to sea passages for civilian officers has been under review on several occasions in recent years, but it is not proposed to make any change in the present arrangement.
