asked the Secretary of State for War what steps have been taken to bring about a standardisation of arms, equipment, services and ranks in the Commonwealth Division in Korea.

The division will be equipped for the most part with arms and equipment of British pattern, though some units will be equipped with vehicles of United States pattern and certain weapons will be provided from United States sources. There will be complete integration of the base organisation and Commonwealth elements will be included in the majority of the movement and maintenance services. The ranks of personnel in the division will be in accordance with normal United Kingdom practice.
