asked the Minister for Defence if it is intended to build a new barracks for the proposed women's corps.

Accommodation as necessary will be provided for the Women's Service Corps. The type and extent of new buildings to be erected are under consideration.

Where is it proposed to have them located?

I hope at a later stage to be able to give that type of information.

Does that mean that we are very far back in the planning for accommodation for the Women's Corps?

We are very advanced in the planning of it but the legislation comes first. I want the authority of the House before I discuss details.

Does that mean that no thought at all has been given to where such a corps might be?

I have said that planning is at a very advanced stage.
