HC Deb 21 November 1978 vol 958 c531W
16. Mr. Stephen Ross

asked the Secretary of State for Defence whether all three of the women's Armed Services are up to establishment; and why it is not possible to provide a waiting list for volunteers eligible to join.

Mr. Wellbeloved

The women's Services are generally up to establishment. Waiting lists are provided for most of these Services. Where they are not provided, arrangements can be made either to give a date of entry or to suggest a date at which there are likely to be immediate vacancies.
