HC Deb 28 June 1967 vol 749 cc91-2W
60. Mr. Cordle

asked the Secretary of State for Defence to what extent serving officers in active service have the same opportunities for studying for entry to the Staff College as officers in the British Army of the Rhine or in units in the United Kingdom.

Mr. Reynolds

Opportunities for studying for entry to the Staff College may vary according to where the officers is serving. But if an officer has the necessary recommendation, he is allowed two attempts at the entrance examination, spread over three years.
