HC Deb 24 July 1968 vol 769 c135W
118. Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for Defence in view of the fact that many men joined Highland regiments as a career which has been terminated by regimental disbandment, what training for other remunerative careers:he Government plans to provide for such men.

Mr. Boyden

At present, when a battalion disbands, the majority of soldiers in it normally transfer to other battalions in the same division. Such redundancy as occurs is spread throughout the division. All redundant soldiers are strongly advised to attend one of the resettlement courses which the Army provides.
