HC Deb 09 November 1916 vol 87 c423W
Mr. C. DUNCAN

asked the Secretary to the Admiralty whether he can arrange to accelerate the speed which now obtains in giving promotion to continuous service engine-room artificers to chief rating?

Dr. MACNAMARA

Advancements are made to maintain the required proportion of chief engine-room artificers, and I can hold out no hope that this proportion will be increased.
