HC Deb 27 March 1946 vol 421 c62W
75. Mr. Willis

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty why a kit of tools is supplied to engine rooms mechanics and not to engine room artificers.

Mr. Dugģdale:

Engine room mechanics and Engine room Artificers entered for "Hostilities Only," are supplied with tool kits. In the case of Engine room Artificers serving on long term engagements, however, it is the normal practice to require them to provide their own tool kits.
