§ 12. Mr. Websterasked the Secretary of State for War if he will make a further statement regarding the proposed amalgamation of the Somerset Light Infantry and the Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry.
§ Mr. SoamesI would refer to the answer given on 14th May to my hon. Friend the Member for Taunton (Mr. du Cann). As the amalgamation is not due to take place until the autumn of next year, it will be some time before the details are decided.
§ Mr. WebsterI thank my right hon. Friend for his reply, but can he give any indication of the name of the regiment and the location of its headquarters?
§ Mr. SoamesNo, Sir, not yet.
