§ Mr. John BrowneTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statement on the changes in the field and public duties roles of the Household Division, consequent upon manpower cuts.
§ Mr. Archie HamiltonThe Army will continue to undertake public duties in an appropriate manner. We shall be looking at how best to meet these commitments from within a smaller Army while maintaining standards. Decisions on the future of individual regiments have yet to be taken.
