Mr. Boothby
asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether his attention has been drawn to a recruiting advertisement, issued by his Department, in which the Royal Navy is recommended as being involved in all important happenings and because of its traditional popularity; and whether he will give directions that this advertisement shall be withdrawn.
Mr. J. P. L. Thomas
This advertisement, which was published last month, was one of a new series designed to illustrate various aspects of naval life. It dealt with the ceremonial side of the Royal Navy and will be balanced in future months by advertisements showing the active and military aspects.
