HC Deb 13 August 1947 vol 441 cc254-5W
Mr. McAdam

asked the Prime Minister if he will move for the appointment of a committee composed of Members of this House to examine the size of our Armed Forces in regard to our present commitments and to suggest any means whereby those Forces can be speedily reduced.

Mr. H. Morrison

I have been asked to reply. No, Sir. This would not be the appropriate course, but my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister has already asked my right hon. Friend the Minister of Defence to make an urgent examination into the whole of this question.
