Proceeding contribution from Adam Ingram (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 22 June 2006. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Defence Policy.

Defence Policy

The hon. Gentleman should examine the debates on the consideration that we have given to future Army structure. That consideration is about restructuring the Army away from heavy into medium and light. Much re-roling is happening to deal with some of the issues that he mentioned and, importantly, to return to the Army some 3,000 posts in the specialist pinch points. Those key enablers will strengthen the Army’s capacity. That takes time, but we are investing in it.
