HC Deb 19 February 1969 vol 778 cc105-6W
Rear-Admiral Morgan Giles

asked the Secretary of State for Defence whether Territorial and Army Volunteer Reserves I and IV are to be retained in separate categories with the Territorial and Army Volunteer Reserve; whether the new establishment of 54,000 includes or excludes these elements; and if he will make a statement about their future.

Mr. Reynolds

The TAVR will be a unified force. The present establishment of TAVR II is 54,500; to this the units now in TAVR I are being added, bringing the establishment up to 56,000. TAVR IV, with an establishment of 5,600, will be integrated with TAVR II to form the unified TAVR.
