§ Mr. Youngerasked the Secretary of State for Defence what is the present strength of the Scottish Division expressed as a percentage of its present authorised establishment.
§ Mr. ReynoldsWhen the Scottish Division comes into existence on 1st July, it will be approximately 104 per cent. of 61W establishment. The strength is likely to fall to within the ceiling by 1st April, 1969. This over establishment is due to the disbandment of the Cameronians and the posting of many ex members of that regiment to other regiments in the division.
