HC Deb 13 February 1929 vol 225 c440W
Mr. HORE-BELISHA

asked the President of the Board of Trade how often examinations for master's and mate's certificates are held at Plymouth; and how many candidates apply annually from this port?

Mr. H. WILLIAMS

Examinations for master's and mate's certificates are held at Plymouth twice in each month, except August, when there are no examinations. In 1928 there were 212 examinations of candidates at this centre, including repeated attempts by the same candidates. Of this number, 133 examinations were examinations of candidates whose addresses were given as in or near Plymouth.
