Proceeding contribution from Earl Attlee (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 28 April 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Armed Forces: Reserves.


Armed Forces: Reserves

My Lords, surely the answer to the question posed by the noble Lord, Lord Walton of Detchant, is that we have been exceeding defence planning assumptions by about 100 per cent since 2003. I remind the House of my interest as a serving officer in the TA, although I am not doing very much now. I first signed up to the TA in January 1974, so I think that I know a little about the TA.
