§ Mr. Parkerasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he will state the total receipts from all sources for Navy week last year and the total expenses which resulted in the net proceeds of £19,897; and, as the only accounts announced to the Press and the Navy show net instead of gross proceeds, whether he will arrange for a proper statement of accounts to be announced, showing gross receipts and detailed expenditure, observing that this money is provided by the public for whom complete accounts should be produced?
3312Wtotal, and the numbers from each year's entries who have reached the ranks of commander and captain?
§ Colonel LlewellinFollowing is the information:
§ Colonel LlewellinI understand that the hon. Member has already received from the Senior Navy Week Managing Trustee copies of audited statements of the Navy Week Accounts for the years 1934 to 1937 inclusive. He will accordingly have seen that for 1937 the income was £28,281, and the expenditure £8,384. I will consult the managing trustees regarding the suggestion that accounts in greater detail than the summaries so far promulgated should be made available.
