HC Deb 02 February 1990 vol 166 cc404-5W
Mr. Butler

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what assessment he has made of(a) the capital costs and (b) the revenue savings of reducing the number of men in the British Army of the Rhine.

Mr. Archie Hamilton

We have no current plans to reduce the number of men in the British Army of the Rhine, and it is not our practice to speculate on hypothetical possibilities concerning future force levels.
