§ 29. Rev. Martin SmythTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will give the current complement of part-time members of the Royal Irish Regiment.
§ Mr. HanleyFor security reasons it is not our practice to disclose the complement of any regiment in the British Army. However, as at 31 December 1993 the strength of the part-time element of the Royal Irish Regiment—Home Service—was 110 officers and 2,400 soldiers. A recruitment campaign for the part-time element of the regiment is currently under way.
