HC Deb 23 November 1955 vol 546 c116W
63. Colonel Stoddart-Scott

asked the Minister of Defence, in order to save personnel and public money, if he will consider amalgamating the nursing services in the three Fighting Services and forming one defence nursing service.

Mr. Selwyn Lloyd

The nursing services of the Armed Forces form part of their medical branches. As I informed my hon. and gallant Friend last week, the amalgamation of these branches is one of the matters dealt with in the First Report of Lord Waverley's Committee, which is now being considered, but about which I am not yet in a position to make any statement.
