HL Deb 11 October 1999 vol 605 c76WA
Lord Vivian

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Why Royal Army Medical Corps specialists field units of the Territorial Army have not been deployed in Kosovo to relieve overstretch on regular units; and whether it is their intention to deploy them in the near future. [HL4102]

Baroness Symons of Vernham Dean

To date it has not been necessary to deploy formed Territorial Army Royal Army Medical Corps units to Kosovo as the operation has been within the capacity of regular units. Individual volunteers from the Regular Reserve and Territorial Army have, however, been deployed to reinforce regular units. There are no plans to deploy formed Territorial Army Royal Army Medical Corps units to Kosovo in the near future.
