§ 2. Commander Nobleasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty at what age it is now possible for Sea Cadets to join the R.N.V.R.; and what proportion are guaranteed that they will serve as National Service men in the Royal Navy.
Mr. DugdaleThe minimum age for enrolment in the R.N.V.R. is 17; this limit applies both to Sea Cadets and to other applicants. It is the practice for all such entries to be accepted for National Service in the Royal Navy.
