HC Deb 18 March 1985 vol 75 c405W
Mr. D. E. Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if he has any plans to expand the Home Service Force.

Mr. Lee

We are currently proceeding with plans to expand the Home Service Force to a strength of 5,000, announced to the House on 25 July 1984. We shall in due course consider the scope for further expansion of the Home Service Force in the longer term.
