HC Deb 19 June 1990 vol 174 c542W
64. Mr. Conway

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what success the volunteer reserve forces campaign has had since its launch in September 1988.

Mr. Archie Hamilton

Response to the volunteer reserve forces campaign has been most encouraging with pledges of support for the volunteer reserves received from over 1,100 major employers representing well over half of the United Kingdom work force. We are confident that the campaign has widened public understanding of the importance of the volunteer reserves.
