HC Deb 07 May 1930 vol 238 c980W
Mr. HORE-BELISHA

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty when the inquiry into the mate scheme and promotion from the lower deck is to be opened?

Mr. ALEXANDER

The mate scheme is only a single aspect of the general question which, as I informed the hon. Member, in reply to a question on 30th January (OFFICIAL REPORT, Col. 1195), is under consideration by the Admiralty. It will not form the subject of any independent inquiry.
