Royal Signals
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if his Department will retain the White Helmet Motor Cycle Team of the Royals Corps of Signals.
- Answer
-
The Master of Signals Council has taken the decision to disband the White Helmet Motor Cycle Team at the end of their 2017 tour. Whilst the display is impressive, it was judged that it no longer reflects the modern role of the Royal Corps of Signals as leaders in a digital age, using cutting edge technology. Engagement that reflects their modern day image is planned to continue.
