HC Deb 24 February 1954 vol 524 c32W
65. Mr. Callaghan

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty if he will move for a Select Committee to review the Naval Discipline Act, with a view to re commending modifications.

Mr. J. P. L. Thomas

The House will be aware that its Select Committee on the Army and Air Force Acts has not yet completed its task, and that some of its recommendations may affect the naval disciplinary code. In these circumstances, it would not be appropriate for me now to suggest how the House might, in due course, consider the Naval Discipline Act.
