To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many regular army regiments were(a) abolished and (b) amalgamated as a result of (i) "Options for Change" and (ii) the Strategic Defence Review. [132988]

Mr. Hoon

As the result of "Options for Change" a total of 12 regular army regiments were disbanded and 26 were amalgamated. No regular army regiments were disbanded or amalgamated as a result of the Strategic Defence Review; indeed two engineer regiments, disbanded following "Options for Change", were reformed.
