HC Deb 09 May 1962 vol 659 c55W
65. Mr. Rankin

asked the Lord Privy Seal if he will make a statement on the appointment of a new military staff commander for the Central Treaty Organisation.

Mr. Heath

The Central Treaty Organisation Governments agreed in principle last year that CENTO'S military structure should be strengthened by the appointment of a senior General as Commander CENTO Military Staff. The question of making this appointment is still being discussed between the Governments of the CENTO countries.
