HC Deb 19 November 1969 vol 791 cc312-3W
56. Rear-Admiral Morgan-Giles

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what will be the minimum period, according to his present plans, between successive tours of duty in Ulster for Army units.

Mr. Richard

Our plans for the next 12 months will not require any unit to return to Ulster for a second time on an unaccompanied basis. One unit will return on an accompanied basis in September 1970, as part of the permanent longterm garrison.
