FOREIGN AND COMMONWEALTH SOLDIERS CONTRIBUTION IN THE BRITISH ARMY

That this House celebrates the huge historic and continuing role that foreign and Commonwealth recruits play in the British Army; notes with concern the proposal that their numbers are not to be included in the Infantry Review; proposes that the Army Board should return to its initial policy and include the figures when looking at each battalion's figures; and strongly believes that every soldier is equal and should be counted as such.
