HC Deb 29 April 1963 vol 676 cc76-7W
Mr. Mayhew

asked the Secretary of State for War, in view of the failures in man management at Pirbright Camp, why the Army authorities have failed to carry out the recommendations of the 1947 Report of an Expert Committee on the work of Psychologists and Psychiatrists in the Services, which advised training in man management in the post-war Army.

Mr. Profumo

The most relevant recommendations were, in the words of the Report itself, that psychiatrists should make their contribution to mental hygiene and morale in the Services, and that more instruction should be given to officers of units in the psychiatric aspects of man management and the maintenance of morale. The Army has carried out both these recommendations.
