HC Deb 18 February 1930 vol 235 cc1182-3W
Sir H. CAYZER

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether, having regard to the prospect of a reduction in Great Britain's naval forces, the Government have in view any plans for the absorption in civil employment of the ratings who will become surplus to service requirements?

Mr. ALEXANDER

I am not at present aware of circumstances being likely to arise which would render inadequate the normal arrangements whereby sailors on discharge from the Navy are absorbed into civilian life.
