§ Lieut.-Colonel Macnamaraasked the First Lord of the Admiralty what arrangements are made for putting up naval officers passing through Glasgow?
Mr. AlexanderWhilst the accommodation question in Glasgow is as acute as anywhere, every effort is made to arrange accommodation for naval officers passing through and temporarily stationed in Glasgow and district. Any officer who is routed to Glasgow reports to the office of the flag officer-in-charge, who keeps a register of all available accommodation. Careful consideration has been given to opening an officers' club or similar establishment, but lack of suitable premises and shortage of labour have unfortunately rendered this impracticable. Nevertheless, no officer need leave the premises of the flag officer-in-charge without some satisfactory arrangement having been made for him.
