HC Deb 15 July 1959 vol 609 c23W
11. Colonel Beamish

asked the Secretary of State for War if he has now received the interim report from the Goodbody Committee which is examining the officer recruitment problem; and, in view of the importance of the matter, if he will make a statement before the House adjourns for the Summer Recess.

Mr. Soames

I have just received an interim report which is being studied by the Army Council. There are a number of recommendations, and it is doubtful whether I shall be able to make a statement before the House rises.
