HC Deb 16 May 1978 vol 950 c136W
Mr. Sandelson

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what steps he is taking to foster the closer integration of the Territorial and Army Volunteer Reserve with the Regular Army.

Mr. Robert C. Brown

It has been decided that the Deputy Commander-in-Chief United Kingdom Land Forces should assume, in addition to his current responsibilities, the new appointment of Inspector General, Territorial and Army Volunteer Reserve. The function of the Inspector General will be to maintain and strengthen the already close links between the TAVR and the Regular Army, and to monitor the efficiency and standards of training of the TAVR.
