§ Mr. MARKHAMasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty if he is aware that certain patrol duties which have hitherto been the work of petty officers, other than engine-room artificers, are now being imposed upon petty-officer engine-room artificers in the Mediterranean Fleet; and whether these duties are night duties in addition to the night duties in the engine-room department and, as such, deprive engine-room artificers of their clear week-end leave?
§ Mr. AMMONInquiries are being made and I will communicate with my hon. Friend as soon as possible.
