HC Deb 22 October 1968 vol 770 cc268-9W
Mr. G. Campbell

asked the Secretary of State for Defence whether the decision on an amalgamation of two armoured regiments, foreshadowed in the recent White Paper, will conform with the ratio governing the number of Scottish units, in the resulting armoured establishment, prescribed by the Government for infantry units on 15th July.

Mr. Boyden

No ratio governing the number of Scottish units in the Infantry has been prescribed. The method of effecting the Royal Armoured Corps reduction that was mentioned in the Defence White Paper of July has not yet been decided.
