HC Deb 27 March 1946 vol 421 c27W
83. Mr. Cobb

asked the Secretary of State for War the qualifications laid down by his Department for promotion to the senior ranks of the A.T.S.

Mr. Lawson:

An A.T.S. officer must prove to the satisfaction of her superiors that she is qualified for the regimental or specialist employment to which it is proposed to post her. In the case of regimental duty, this includes proved ability to safeguard the welfare and wellbeing of her troops, to carry out the training of her officers and non-commissioned officers in their professional duties, and to ensure the satisfactory organisation, discipline and efficiency of her unit. She must also have attained a high standard of leadership and power of command.
