HC Deb 14 March 1940 vol 358 cc1395-6W
Mr. G. Strauss

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is fully satisfied with the present policy of limiting the age range in each type of military unit; and whether he has given full consideration to the view held in the French and German armies that the best fighting forces contain a mixture of all military ages?

Mr. Stanley

I would refer the hon. Member to the statement I made on this subject in introducing Army Estimates on Tuesday last.
