HC Deb 21 June 1971 vol 819 c206W
Mr. Brynmor John

asked the Minister of State for Defence how many members of the Women's Royal Army Corps or Women's Royal Air Force are serving in Vietnam and Cambodia, and what are the capacities in which they are so serving.

Lord Balniel

One: a W.R.A.C. sergeant serving in the British Embassy Saigon as a shorthand typist in the Military Attache's office.

Mr. Brynmor John

asked the Minister of State for Defence in what circumstances recruits to the women's services are advised that there are possibilities of foreign postings to Vietnam and Cambodia.

Lord Balniel

W.R.A.C. recruits are not normally informed about the post in Saigon as it is filled by a senior W.R.A.C. N.C.O.
