HC Deb 18 May 1990 vol 172 c577W
Mr. Nicholas Bennett

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statement on the review of United Kingdom land force districts.

Mr. Archie Hamilton

The structure of United Kingdom land force districts is currently the subject of an internal review by the Commander in Chief United Kingdom Land Forces. It is expected that recommendations will be made to the Ministry of Defence later this year.

Mr. Nicholas Bennett

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make it his policy that should the Wales land force district be amalgamated with any English land force district the new land force district will include the name of Wales in the title.

Mr. Archie Hamilton

No proposals have yet been put forward concerning the reorganisation of the Army district structure in the United Kingdom. It would therefore be premature to discuss any retitling that may be recommended.
