HC Deb 22 December 1965 vol 722 c442W
55. Sir T. Beamish

asked the Secretary of State for Defence how many reservists would be required to bring all units in the British Army of the Rhine up to war establishment; and how many additional men would be needed to fulfil Great Britain's commitment to the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation in the event of a simple alert.

Mr. Reynolds

The strength of British Army of the Rhine would be approximately doubled if it were put onto a war footing.
