HC Deb 28 February 1945 vol 408 c1411W
Mr. O. Evans

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether, in the case of examinations for scholarships or common entrance to the Royal Naval College, Dartmouth, the examining body will give due consideration to the examination results with a view to making allowances in the case of those candidates whose studies were interrupted by enemy action.

Mr. Alexander

While I sympathise with the object of the hon. Member's Question, I am afraid it is not practicable to find a formula which would cover fairly the various effects of the various conditions on individual boys.
