Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, If he will comment about the future of the TAVR. (Failed OPQ)
Answer

Mr. Baldry: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statement about the future of the Territorial Army Volunteer Reserve. [16814] Dr. Reid: I assume that the hon. Gentleman is referring to the Territorial Army, whose future role and structure is being considered in the Strategic Defence Review as part of our work on the Armed Forces as a whole. It would be premature to assess the likely outcome of the Review before the process is complete.
