HC Deb 25 April 1918 vol 105 c1133W
General CROFT

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether, in view of the shortage of chartered and incorporated accountants, he will consider the advisability of making appointments of experienced accountants, other than chartered, and business men to the Admiralty costings and investigation division?

Dr. MACNAMARA

The staff of the Division already includes a number of men with accountancy and business experience who are not qualified as chartered or incorporated accountants. The question of engaging others not of military age is constantly before us.
