HC Deb 29 July 1931 vol 255 c2309W
Sir B. FALLE

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty if he is aware that the complement of W/T rating in large ships is insufficient to allow of proper instructions being given by the chief petty officer or petty officers to junior and boy ratings; and whether he will cause the complements to be adjusted to admit of instruction being given to juniors?

Mr. ALEXANDER

W/T complements of His Majesty's Ships are being gradually augmented as the necessary telegraphist ratings become available.
