HC Deb 05 June 1956 vol 553 c37W
8. Mr. Ian Harvey

asked the Secretary of State for War what arrangements are being made, in view of the reconstruction of the Territorial Army, to attach members of the Territorial Army to Regular Army units, or to send them on courses organised under Regular Army auspices.

Mr. Head

I assume that my hon. Friend refers to Territorial Army units changing their role. Many of these units will have Regular officers and non-commissioned officers of their new arm serving with them and additional instructors from Regular units will be used to help. There will also be courses at War Office schools. It is not practicable to attach large numbers of the Territorial Army to Regular units for training except in special cases.
