HC Deb 25 October 1967 vol 751 c486W
Mr. William Hamilton

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what progress has been made in the use of the army personnel on civilian development projects; and to what extent the trade unions have been consulted.

Mr. Boyden

The study of the extension of military aid to the civil community mentioned in February's Statement on the Defence Estimates is well advanced. Interested parties outside Government, including the T.U.C., will be consulted before any final decisions are taken.
