HC Deb 19 November 1962 vol 667 cc95-6W
Mr. Boyden

asked the Civil Lord of the Admiralty if he will increase the number of juveniles in his Department granted day release training beyond the present two-thirds of the juveniles employed, and ensure that at least 80 per cent. are given the opportunity of such further education.

Mr. C. Ian Orr-Ewing

Information about opportunities for further education is available for juveniles entering the Admiralty service, and they are encouraged to attend suitable classes. Attendance is, however, voluntary, but I am again drawing the attention of heads of departments to the need for encouraging these young people to take advantage of these opportunities.
