HC Deb 25 March 1929 vol 226 cc2069-70
49. Lieut.-Colonel LAMBERT WARD

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether any decision has now been arrived at with regard to the arrangements for the examinations for certificates of competency for masters and mates in the mercantile marine?

Mr. H. WILLIAMS

In order to give effect to the recommendations of the Committee on the Examinations of Masters and Mates, it has been decided that in future all papers shall be set and corrected at headquarters; but, in order to avoid any hardship to candidates, it has been decided to retain the present places of examination and the present frequency of examinations, subject of course to the right to review should circumstances change in the future.
