§ Mr. MARKHAMasked the First Lord of the Admiralty how many retired naval officers from warrant rank are employed in His Majesty's ships, including shore establishments, at home; and whether he will, with a view both to economy and to the relief of stagnation in advancement and promotion, relieve them by active service warrant officers?
§ Mr. AMMONI am having inquiries made and will communicate with my hon. Friend as soon as possible.
