HC Deb 20 March 1947 vol 435 cc108-9W
Mr. Austin

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty whether he is satisfied that recruitment for the R. N. fully meets the needs of the Service and whether he will see to it that entry of British personnel is in no way prejudiced by the admission of Polish naval forces into the Service.

Mr. Dugdale

The recruitment to the Royal Navy of young men on regular engagements is, in the present circumstances, reasonably satisfactory. The entry of British personnel will be in no way prejudiced by the admission of Poles on regular engagements in anticipation of naturalisation.
