HC Deb 07 November 1929 vol 231 c1238
45. Sir HERBERT SAMUEL

asked the Prime Minister whether, in view of the signature of the peace pact by the Government of the United Kingdom, he will consider the advisability of effecting a change in the title of the War Department by the substitution of the title Army Department?

The PRIME MINISTER

I am advised that a change in name would involve legislation, but the right hon. Member's suggestion will certainly be borne in mind.

Mr. TOOLE

Will the Prime Minister consider the question of changing the title to Peace Department instead of War Department?

Mr. ALBERY

Are the Government considering the substitution of one Ministry of Defence?

The PRIME MINISTER

That is a separate question.
