HC Deb 07 July 1948 vol 453 c35W
69. Commander Noble

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty why only 25 cadets have been accepted for the first new scheme entry to Dartmouth; and not 29 as previously announced.

Mr. Dugdale

As a result of the educational examination and tests for personal qualities, 30 candidates were found suitable for entry, but three were medically unfit and the vacancies in the branch for which the other two were candidates were already filled.
