§ Mr. Parkerasked the First Lord of the Admiralty when he received representations from naval authorities that the naval peace-time scale of travelling expenses was inadequate, and that sub-lieutenants getting 15s. a day subsistence allowance when travelling have to meet the same scale of bills as captains receiving 25s. a day; whether he is aware that civil servants experienced similar difficulties but have had their regulations revised long ago; and whether he can make a statement in connection with this grievance?
Mr. AlexanderThis question has recently been under active review in the Admiralty in the light of information received from naval authorities. I hope that a satisfactory settlement will be achieved in the near future.
