HC Deb 16 May 1950 vol 475 c127W
3. Mr. Lindsay

asked the Secretary of State for War why it has been decided to stop all parachute training for men of 16 Airborne Division, Territorial Army.

Mr. Strachey

Parachute training for this Division is to be reduced in scale because of cuts in R.A.F. Transport Command which provides the aircraft and other training facilities. It will not, however, be stopped altogether.
