§ 93. Mr. J. Lewisasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty if he, has any statement to make on the amenities and conditions aboard H.M.S. "Fluellen."
§ Mr. W. EdwardsH.M.S. "Fluellen" has recently been engaged on arduous minesweeping operations during which the weather was too bad for her to get alongside any of the minesweepers to obtain fresh meat and vegetables regularly. A special inspection of the ship was made on her return to port, and the inspecting officer has reported that conditions aboard H.M.S. "Fluellen" are, in general, not different from those obtaining in other ships of her type employed on similar duties. Arduous conditions are frequently unavoidable on service of this kind. Nevertheless, a further report has been called for and I will again look into the matter to see whether any improvements can be effected.
