Mr. G. M. Thomson

asked the Civil Lord of the Admiralty how many of the cadets from Scottish schools accepted into the Dartmouth Naval College at the last intake came from independent schools.

Mr. C. Ian Orr-Ewing

Of the nine cadets from Scottish schools who entered Dartmouth in 1961, three came from independent schools.

Mr. G. M. Thomson

asked the Civil Lord of the Admiralty how many applicants there were for places at Dartmouth Naval College at the last intake, how many were educated at Scottish schools; how many cadets were accepted; and how many of these were from Scottish schools.

Mr. C. Ian Orr-Ewing

Scottish schools provided 17 of the 231 direct entry applicants for the Dartmouth entry in 1961, and five of the 101 scholarship or reserved cadetship holders who had qualified in previous competitions and had sought entry last year. One hundred and forty-six cadets finally entered, of whom nine came from Scottish schools.
