HC Deb 23 February 1995 vol 255 c337W
Dr. David Clark

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence (1) what plans he has to reform the Army's regimental system;

(2) if he will list the options under consideration by his Department for project BA2000;

(3) which of the options under consideration for project BA2000 involve reducing the current number of regiments.

Mr. Soames

BA2000 will be an internal and conceptual MOD document which addresses in general terms the requirements of the Army at the beginning of the next century. It is at an early stage of drafting. There are no plans to reform the Army's regimental system.
