HC Deb 07 May 1924 vol 173 c401
10. Major Sir BERTRAM FALLE

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty whether the sons of naval warrant officers are considered to be included in the Regulations contained in paragraph 2 of Regulations respecting the entry of paymaster cadets, shown on page 2350 of the Navy List; and whether the sons of naval warrant officers are considered eligible candidates generally for entry as paymaster cadets?

Mr. HODGES

The sons of naval warrant officers are eligible, under the prescribed conditions, both for the service nomination for paymaster cadetships and as candidates generally.

Sir B. FALLE

Will the hon. Gentleman say why so very few are chosen?

Mr. HODGES

Many are called, but few are chosen.
