HC Deb 08 February 1961 vol 634 cc382-3
22. Mr. Wall

asked the Minister of Defence what steps he is taking to integrate the training of officers of the three Services at all levels.

Mr. Watkinson

It is my aim to extend joint Services training as much as possible, and I am now having the possibilities examined.

Mr. Wall

It may be good at the top level, but can my right hon. Friend give attention to the need for increasing this Service training at the Dartmouth, Sandhurst and Cranwell level?

Mr. Watkinson

I have great sympathy with the question of trying to integrate Service training. My hon. Friend may like to know that the whole subject is now being examined in great detail.
