HC Deb 12 July 1971 vol 821 c28W
Mr. John Morris

asked the Minister of State for Defence what representations he has received from the Colonels of the Royal Welch Fusiliers and the Royal Regiment of Wales to ensure that the Welsh depot at Cwrt-y-Gollen remains a purely Welsh institution ; and whether he will make a statement on its future.

Mr. G. Johnson Smith

In the course of detailed examination of the allocation of the eight regiments constituting the Prince of Wales's Division between the division's two depots, the Colonels of the Royal Welch Fusiliers and the Royal Regiment of Wales have urged that the Welsh character of the depot at Cwrt-y-Gollen should be preserved. I am not yet able to say what the outcome of the examination will be.
