HC Deb 18 May 1981 vol 5 c43W
Mr. Trippier

asked the Secretary of State for Defence how many women are being trained for those of the 500 officer and 4,000 soldier dual posts which are not yet filled by women.

Mr. Goodhart

Most of the posts identified by the Army as equally suitable for men and women are in employments already undertaken by WRAC personnel or for which they do not require special training. However, there are about 60 women at present under training for employment in corps and trades where the work was previously undertaken only by men.
