HC Deb 11 March 1925 vol 181 c1301
20. Major Sir BEBTRAM FALLE

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty whether length of service in the dockyard or order in passing the inspector's examinations is the method adopted for advancement to chargeman or reversion to tools in the event of reduction in establishment in His Majesty's Dockyard, Portsmouth?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the ADMIRALTY (Mr. Davidson)

In making appointments to or reversions from the position of chargeman, a number of considerations are taken into account, including proved capacity to perform the duties, and qualification by examination for the superior post of inspector.
