Proceeding contribution from Desmond Swayne (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 28 April 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Reserves (Review).


Reserves (Review)

My interest is in the register. Will the Minister reflect on recommendation 50? Although the result may have more the character of an agreed merger than a hostile takeover bid, ultimately the outcome will be same: we will have lost an Army with its own ethos and acquired a mere reserve, and something of value will have been lost.
