HC Deb 05 March 1947 vol 434 c68W
71. Major Bramall

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty whether he will waive the requirement of a credit in Latin in school certificate for candidates for commissions in the electrical branch of the R.N.

Mr. Dugdale

Yes, Sir. As a result of my hon. Friend's previous question further inquiries were made of the Cambridge University authorities and I am glad to be able to state that they have now agreed that officers of the electrical branch of the Royal Navy going into residence shall be excused the previous examination. This means that the Latin qualification will not now be required.
