Mr. Garro Jones

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty how many men were invalided out of the Navy in 1937 and 1938; and in how many of these cases was the disability attributed as due to the service?

Colonel Llewellin

During the years 1937 and 1938 the numbers of ratings (including Royal Marines) invalided out of the Navy were 1,200 and 1,299 respectively, and in each year 160 of these cases were held to be "Attributable to the Service."
