HC Deb 11 May 1911 vol 25 c1378
Mr. CHARLES DUNCAN

asked the conditions governing the promotion of writers from the second grade to the first grade at the Admiralty and Royal dockyards?

Mr. McKENNA

Promotion from the second to the first grade is made after selection by the Board, but a writer cannot be promoted to the first grade at a home yard or at the Admiralty until he reaches the maximum of the second grade.
