Proceeding contribution from Bob Russell (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 29 January 2009. It occurred during Debate on Armed Forces Personnel.


Armed Forces Personnel

The Minister mentions the justified criticism of the shortfall in some of the infantry battalions. Is he aware that the Royal Anglian regiment had a reception at the House of Commons this week, at which we were told that it is the best recruited infantry regiment in the British Army and is at full strength? Perhaps other regiments should look at what the Royal Anglians are doing, to see whether they can make up their shortfall in recruitment by following the Royal Anglians' example.
