HC Deb 16 April 1947 vol 436 cc14-5W
61. Major Bruce

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty whether he is able to report any progress in providing dining quarters afloat separately from sleeping quarters.

Mr. W. Edwards

Research into the problems involved in introducing centralised messing in each of His introducing Ships in the Service is continually taking place. Centralised messing has been fitted in the "Vanguard," in the aircraft carrier "Implacable," in the cruiser "Glasgow," and in an aircraft maintenance ship, "Perseus." The centralised messing system has also been adopted for nearly all major warships now under construction.
