Minute from WSC to the 2nd, 3rd and 4th Sea Lords, Vice-Adm Sir Frederick Hamilton, Rear-Adm Frederick Tudor and Captain Cecil Lambert, thanks for minute of 18 May on the power of the First Lord to initiate action, stating that he felt it best if the 1st Sea Lord made proposals and the First Lord to criticise or concur "but no rule can be laid down". Stating that the First Lord had the power of not only of veto but of initiation. Agreeing that the four Sea Lords should be more fully consulted on large questions of war policy, but thet neither Prince Louis of Battenberg [later 1st Lord Milford Haven] or Lord Fisher were in favour.
