§ Lord Vivianasked Her Majesty's Government:
When the average tour interval is taken into account, whether the figures include regiments and battalions which may have had single squadrons and companies deployed away from their parent units for three months or more. [H1.2595]
§ Lord BachI assume that by referring to regiments and battalions the noble Lord is inquiring about the average tour intervals of the Royal Armoured Corps and the infantry, which do take account of single squadrons and companies deployed away from their parent units for over three months.
