Proceeding contribution from Julian Lewis (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 15 October 2009. It occurred during Debate on Defence Policy.


Defence Policy

The information that I have, which I believe to be accurate, is that the reason for the cut in funding for the Territorial Army is that Regular Army recruitment has exceeded expectation and that funds have to be found somewhere in the land budget to pay for the training of that extra recruitment. Is that true? If it is not, why is the decision on the cut in TA funding being taken so late in the year?
