Boy Artificers As 5Th Class Engine Room Artificers

MR. BOWERMAN  (Deptford)
To ask the Secretary to the Admiralty whether the boy artificers promoted to the fifth-class engine-room artificers, and sent to ships abroad, have been favourably reported upon; and whether they are being borne as additional to the usual complement, or in lieu of others whose time has expired.

( Answered by Mr. Edmund Robertson.) The reports have not yet been received. These artificers are borne additional to complement.
