§ Sir H. Studholmeasked the Minister of Defence whether it is proposed to retain the Women's Royal Naval Service, Women's Royal Army Corps, and Women's Royal Air Force in the new all-Regular forces.
§ Mr. SandysYes, most certainly. There are many tasks in the Services that women can perform as well as men, and some that they can do better.
In the new all-Regular forces, we shall more than ever have need of the Women's Services at home and overseas; and our aim will be to increase their numbers, particularly in those trades for which women are especially well suited.
