§ Commander Nobleasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty what opportunities for promotion will be open to ratings who complete the full civilian sanitary inspectors course; and for what jobs are these officers and men being trained.
Mr. DugdaleSick berth ratings who complete the full civilian sanitary inspectors course have the usual opportunities for advancement to the higher rates of the branch and for selection for warrant rank which may lead to commissioned status. Ratings with these qualifications are to be employed as assistants to naval medical officers of health. No officers are being trained as sanitary inspectors.
