§ Mr. Trotterasked the Secretary of State for Defence what numbers are to be borne by the brigades in each division of the BAOR when the existing task forces are retitled on 1 January 1981; and whether he will consider so arranging the future rotation of units as to enable one of the brigades to be comprised predominantly of regiments from the Guards Division and to be known as the Guards Armoured Brigade.
§ Mr. HayhoeUpon the reintroduction of brigade titles in the BAOR on 1 January 1981 the following numbers will be borne within divisions: 4, 6, 7, 11, 12, 20, 22, and 33 Armoured Brigades; following historical precedents and reviving the old numbers wherever possible 5 Field Force will become 24 Infantry Brigade. Present plans for the future rotation of units will not enable one of the brigades to comprise predominantly regiments from the Guards Division.
