§ Mr. Peter DuncanTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statement on the future of the(a) Black Watch, (b) King's Own Scottish Borderers and (c) Royal Scots regiments. [147680]
§ Mr. IngramThere are currently no plans regarding the future of any of these Regiments. The Defence White Paper published last month provides the policy context for shaping the structure of our armed forces. Subsequently, the details of individual systems and units within that structure will need to be developed, but presently no decisions have been taken.
