HC Deb 19 July 1939 vol 350 c421W
Sir R. Young

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty whether any of the 42 apprentices from North of the Midlands, sent to His Majesty's ship "Caledonia" during 1938, were drawn from the Glasgow district, and, if so how many; and will he give the total number of such apprentices from North of the Midlands this year and the number from the Glasgow district sent to Rosyth?

Mr. Shakespeare

None of the 42 apprentices mentioned in the first part of the question came from Glasgow. Three apprentices from the North of the Midlands have been appointed to His Majesty's Ship "Caledonia" this year, but none of these came from Glasgow.
