HC Deb 23 February 1988 vol 128 c156W
18. Mr. Baldry

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statement on the progress of the Territorial Army Volunteer Reserve national employer liaison committee.

Mr. Freeman

Since 1986 the Department has accepted a number of the committee's recommendations on the recruitment, conditions of service, training and organisation of TA officers and men. A number of other recommendations remain under consideration, notably a plan for a wide-ranging press and TV campaign to be undertaken to enlist further support from young people and employers. This proposal remains under consideration along with other measures for inclusion in the Department's programme and we hope to make a decision shortly.
