HC Deb 29 May 1946 vol 423 c1132
5. Mr. Willis

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty what arrangements are being made to enable chief and E.R.A. ex-prisoners of war to refresh their knowledge, so that they will suffer no handicap when seeking promotion, as the result of the time they have spent in prisoner-of-war camps.

Mr. Dugdale

So far, no cases have been reported of chief or engine room artificers ex-prisoners of war experiencing difficulty in qualifying for advancement, but special refresher courses will be instituted if found to be necessary.
