HC Deb 11 March 1986 vol 93 cc425-6W
53. Sir John Biggs-Davison

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if any changes in the role and deployment of the Ulster Defence Regiment have been made following the conclusion of the Anglo-Irish agreement; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Stanley

As I said to my hon. Friend in my reply to him on 22 January, at column 237, there are no plans to change the operational role of the Ulster Defence Regiment. There are also no plans to make any significant changes in deployments at present although detailed deployments of course vary from day to day in response to operational needs.
