HC Deb 22 November 1979 vol 974 c304W
Mr. Michael Brown

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if he is satisfied that there are sufficient tank crews attached to the British Army on the Rhine.

Mr. Hayhoe

Royal Armoured Corps regiments in BAOR are not yet fully manned and as a result some tanks remain in light preservation. There are, however, enough men available in these units to operate the tanks in an emergency.
