HC Deb 21 July 1965 vol 716 cc216-7W
50. Mr. Hay

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what arrangements he will make to enable hon. and right hon. Members to be present at and to witness the visit to the Fleet by Her Majesty on 10th and 11th August.

Mr. J. P. W. Mallalieu

The visit has been planned as a domestic occasion on which Her Majesty and His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh can meet as many members of ships' companies as possible. We have not invited hon. and right hon. Members or other distinguished persons outside the Service. As the hon. Member knows however the Navy offers Members many opportunities to visit H.M. Steps and greatly welcomes such visits.
