Written statement made by Adam Ingram (Labour) on Tuesday, 9 January 2007 in the House of Commons, on behalf of the Ministry of Defence.


Reserve Forces

With the expiry of the call-out order made last January, a new order has been made under section 54 of the Reserve Forces Act 1996 so that reservists may continue to be called out into service to support operations in Iraq. The new order is valid for 12 months. Some 640 reservists are currently mobilised to support operations in Iraq. We are very appreciative of the continuing support and commitment shown by both reservists and their employers.
