Before the House of Commons adjourned, Lord Thynne (U. Bath), asked whether three Sea Lords had resigned and what was the reason of the change, which was unprecedented in the history of the Admiralty.
Mr. Winston Churchill, First Lord of the Admiralty, replied that Admiral Sir Arthur Knyvett Wilson, First Sea Lord, was due to retire in March on attaining the age of seventy years. Capt. Charles Edward Madden, the Fourth Sea Lord, was due to resign in January, on promotion and aplutment to a sea-going command.
