HC Deb 23 November 1964 vol 702 c127W
64. Mr. Lubbock

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will take steps to ensure that the same opportunities for advancement and conditions of service are available to all State Registered Nurses in each of the Armed Forces.

Mr. Mayhew

All three Services have commissions open to S.R.N.s of either sex, except that in the Navy members of Queen's Alexandra's Royal Nursing Service are civilians with officer status. The opportunities for advancement depend on the number of vacancies and this is set by the needs of each Service.
