Commons Question On N.Z. Cruiser
November 15. Mr George Wigg (Labour), in the House of Commons, asked if the Admiralty would state the date on which the cruiser H.M.N.Z.S. Royalist had joined the Mediterranean Fleet and the date on which the New Zealand Government required that the Royalist should not be operationally committed in the Eastern Mediterranean. The Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty, Mr George Ward, said that the Royalist joined the Mediterranean Fleet on July 9. and sailed from Malta for New Zealand on November 7. when this had been completed. “The second part of the question does not arise, since it was mutually agreed between the New Zealand Government and the British Government that the Royalist should not be operationally committed.” he said.
