HC Deb 04 March 1927 vol 203 c724W
Mr. HORE-BELISHA

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty the approximate cost of training an apprentice who receives four years' theoretical instruction in His Majesty's dockyard upper schools?

Lieut.-Colonel HEADLAM

The average annual cost of the instruction of apprentices in His Majesty's dockyard schools at home is about 10s. per head per annum, and the total cost for a student who receives four years instruction is, therefore, about £70.
