Dr. Murrison: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what steps were taken to inform members of the Royal Gloucestershire,

Mr. Ingram: As the professional head of the Army, the Chief of the General Staff had responsibility for communicating the decision
to disband the Royal Gloucestershire, Berkshire and Wiltshire Regiment down the chain of command. On the morning of the
announcement, the Chief of the General Staff personally telephoned the Colonel Commandant of the Prince of Wales's Division and, in
this instance, also the Colonel of the Royal Gloucestershire, Berkshire and Wiltshire Regiment to inform them of the decision and
pending announcement. This was then relayed to the rest of the regiment by the Regiment's Commanding Officer.

Mr. Gray: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence to what precedent he referred in deciding upon a method for disbanding the Royal
Gloucestershire, Berkshire and Wiltshire Regiment. [208830]
Mr. Ingram: It is vital that we ensure that the Army of the future is properly configured to meet the priorities and challenges of
the future, rather than the past. The Army has always evolved to meet current and future challenges and it is a fact that very few
of our regiments and corps exist today in the same form as they did in the past.
Of a number of options considered for the Prince of Wales's Division, the solution of merging the prior Glosters element of the
Royal Gloucestershire, Berkshire and Wiltshire Regiment with the Devonshire and Dorset Regiment and the prior Duke of Edinburgh's
Royal Regiment element of the RGBW with the Princess of Wales's Royal Regiment, was judged to offer the least overall disruption and
the most coherent regional and structural outcome.
