§ Sir B. FALLEasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether consideration can be given to altering the complements of battleships, battle cruisers, aircraft carriers, and other large vessels to 869W allow of an officers' chief steward and an officers' chief cook for the ward room mess and thus bring the officers' stewards and cook branch in line with the writers' and supply branches?
Mr. ALEXANDERVarious matters are under consideration which may possibly result in some regrading in one, if not both, of the branches mentioned, but the Admiralty cannot consider grading branches alike where responsibility differs.
