HC Deb 21 November 1978 vol 958 c535W
28. Mr. George

asked the Secretary of State for Defence when the Shapland committee report on the Territorial and Volunteer Reserve will be made available to Members.

Mr. Robert C. Brown

As I explained to the hon. Member for Tynemouth (Mr. Trotter) on 27th July—[Vol. 954, c.886]—it would not be appropriate to make this report available as it is an internal document. Nevertheless, I hope to be able to announce the Government's decision on the report early next year.
