HC Deb 13 January 1976 vol 903 cc106-7W
27. Mr. Banks

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what will be the reduction in the numbers of personnel in reserve forces resulting from the current review of defence expenditure.

Mr. William Rodgers

The annual review of public expenditure is proceeding and the results will be published in a White Paper. It is too soon to say what consequences there may be in relation to reserve forces or any other item of defence expenditure.
