asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty what arrangements will be made to enable Members of Parliament and the public, respectively, to witness the forthcoming review of the Home and Reserve Fleets?

This will not be a review in the normally accepted sense, but an inspection by His Majesty the King of ships of the Reserve Fleet. No special arrangements are being made by the Admiralty to enable Members of Parliament and of the public to witness it, as this is considered to be an entirely naval occasion.
