HC Deb 29 April 1987 vol 115 cc179-80W
Mr. McNamara

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what restrictions apply to women seeking to take an engineering apprenticeship with the armed services.

Mr. Freeman

Women are not eligible for engineering apprenticeships with the armed services. A range of technical trades are, however, open to women, and their successful completion leads to qualifications which are recognised by the appropriate technical bodies.
