10. Vice-Admiral CAMPBELLasked the First Lord of the Admiralty what is the cost to the State of an officer entered as a cadet at Dartmouth College till the age of 20; and what is the cost to the State of an officer entered as a special-entry cadet till the age of 20?
Sir B. EYRES MONSELLI presume that the inquiry relates to executive officers. The approximate net cost to the State of an officer entered as a cadet at Dartmouth is £l,200, and that of an officer entered as a special-entry cadet is £900, until promotion to the rank of midshipman. These figures include the additional cost to keep the "Frobisher" in commission as a cadet training ship instead of as a reserve fleet ship. After an officer becomes a midshipman he takes his place in the ship and his pay, etc., is not charged against the cost of his training.
§ Mr. MORGAN JONESHow many years does that sum of money cover?
§ 19. Mr. ANEURIN BEVANasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he will give the various scales of fees charged to the parents or guardians of cadets at Dartmouth College, and the 1951 numbers now being educated there under these various scales?
§ The CIVIL LORD of the ADMIRALTY (Captain Euan Wallace)The fees charged to parents or guardians for cadets at Dartmouth College during the current term are as follow:
In addition, there are 12 King's cadets for whom no fee is charged.
- 268 at £150 per annum.
- 30 at £100 per annum.
- 39 at £70 per annum.
- 40 at £40 per annum.
§ Captain WALLACEI expect so.
