Mr. A. Henderson

An outline of the alterations was announced by my right hon. Friend on 8th December last, of which I will send my hon. Friend a copy.

Miss Ward

Can my hon. and learned Friend say with regard to the scheme now in operation that its initial stages will he approved by the other Service Ministers, or did he disagree with the original scheme put forward?

I would prefer the hon. Lady to ask the other Service Ministers whether they agreed.
