§ Mr. Parkerasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether, in view of the concern in the Navy and elsewhere about the Jellicoe Memorial Appeal for £50,000 launched over two years ago, of which £23,000 was to be devoted to one of the missing hostels at the Royal Hospital School, Holbrook, and the fact that the fund is now to be closed down owing to continued lack of support, he will inform the service in Fleet Orders, in the same manner as the officially-supported appeals were made, as to the present position and the intentions of the appeal officials as regards the disposal of the £14,800 so far collected from the public and the Navy?
Mr. CooperI am not aware of any foundation for the hon. Member's sug-1354W gestions, nor do I intend to take the action he proposes. In fact, an additional £3,000 has been collected during the last four months for this fund, and I hope that in course of time the full sum required will be subscribed.
