76. Mr. FENWICKasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether, in the event of an engine-room artificer qualifying for the right to nominate his son for entry as a boy artificer, that right would be extended to a guardian in the case of the father's death?
§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the ADMIRALTY (Dr. Macnamara)Certain flag officers are allowed to recommend a limited number of candidates with service claims for nomination by the Admiralty after a qualifying examination. The son of an engine-room artificer would be eligible for such a recommendation, and in the event of the father's death, it would be open to the boy's guardian to apply for it.
