§ Mr. CorbettTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence what information he has on the reason 20 selected recruits to the Coldstream Guards were advised that they could not join the regiment as planned in November 1990 and would have to wait until April 1991.
§ Mr. Alan ClarkAs a result of pressures on the defence budget, restrictions on enlistments to the Army have meant that some regiments, including the Coldstream Guards, have had to defer the entry date of prospective recruits.
