HC Deb 08 May 1956 vol 552 cc91-2W
52. Mr. Janner

asked the Secretary of State for War if he will make a statement on the proposal of the Army Council to set up a committee to inquire into the structure of the Army with a view to the future.

Mr. F. Maclean

General Hull has been appointed chairman of a Committee which my right hon. Friend has set up to examine the future structure of the Army in the light of probable commitments and, in particular, to consider ways in which demands for military manpower can be reduced and use that can be made of civilians and outside organisations.
