HC Deb 22 June 1966 vol 730 cc576-7
48 and 49. Mr. Murton

asked the Secretary of State for Defence (1) what plans he has for the reorganisation of the Chiefs of Staff Committee as part of the progressive unification of the defence services;

(2) what plans he has for the future of the three Service board; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Healey

None at present.

Mr. Murton

Will the right hon. Gentleman give an assurance that should this matter ever be considered, as has been suggested in reports, this House will be given the chance to debate it before anything permanent is done?

Mr. Healey

Certainly the House will have a chance to discuss any proposals which the Government may ultimately decide to put before it.
