HC Deb 23 March 1976 vol 908 c110W
Mr. Trotter

asked the Secretary of State for Defence how many infantry battalions are at present based in Great Britain; and how many will be so based after the reorganisation of the home-based Army into field forces.

Mr. Robert C. Brown

As stated in my reply of 16th June 1975—[Official Report, Vol. 893, c. 344–5] to the hon. Member, there are 29 Regular British infantry battalions statioed in the United Kingdom. The number will remain unchanged after reorganisation.
