§ Mr. Adam Hunterasked the Secretary of State for Defence how many applications there were in the current year to be craft apprentices in Her Majesty's Dockyard, Rosyth; and how many will be accepted as apprentices.
§ Dr. GilbertThis year 966 applications for craft apprenticeships have been made to Her Majesty's dockyard. I expect that 200 apprenticeships will be offered as against the normal intake of 150.
