HC Deb 08 May 1951 vol 487 c204W
85. Mr. Vane

asked the Secretary of State for War what instructions have been sent to Territorial Army associations and Territorial Army units regarding the use of all club facilities including bars at Territorial Army centres, commonly known as drill halls, by members of the Women's Royal Army Corps.

Mr. Strachey

No specific instructions have been issued by the War Office on this matter. Where units or sub-units of the Territorial Army, whether male, female or mixed, are accommodated in the same Territorial Army Centre, it is War Office policy that training and social accommodation should be shared. In calculating entitlement to social accommodation at the Centre, provision is made for members of the Women's Royal Army Corps, Territorial Army, to enjoy the full social facilities provided. In the case of mixed units, a rest room is provided, in addition, for the sole use of the female members.
