HC Deb 29 November 1951 vol 494 c176W
103. Mr. Adams

asked the Secretary of State for War why 22584047 Trooper K. Palmer, 66th Training Regiment, has been ordered to the Middle East after less than 12 weeks' training.

Mr. J. R. H. Hutchison

It has not yet been decided to which unit this soldier will go at the end of his basic training. He would, however, if required, be eligible for posting to the Middle East on 30th November, having completed not less than the 10 weeks' training and 12 weeks' service necessary under the current rules.
