HC Deb 03 November 1954 vol 532 cc55-6W
106. Mr. Percy Wells

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty the proportion of instructors to apprentices at Her Majesty's Dockyard, Sheerness.

Mr. Digby

Eight instructors are provided for group training of 104 apprentices; the proportion is therefore one instructor to 13 apprentices. In addition, 194 apprentices, mostly in the later stages of their apprenticeship, are attached to individual craftsmen for instruction, or are working independently.
