To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what sentences were handed down to the four men that his Scots Guards patrol captured in possession of an explosive device on 19 May 1992 in West Belfast.
The information requested is not held by the Ministry of Defence (MOD).
Members of the Irish Republican Army (IRA) who were captured were civilians and, as such, were not subject to the Service Justice System for which MOD holds data. Captured IRA members would most likely have been processed under the civilian justice system in Northern Ireland. If they were charged and subject to trial, it would have taken place through the Northern Ireland Court Service (established in 1979).
To ask Her Majesty's Government why the London Scottish Hodden Grey tartan was replaced when the London Scottish regiment adopted the dress of the Scots Guards; and whether this was consistent with the undertaking in the previous defence review concerning further cap badge losses from regiments.
To ask Her Majesty's Government why the London Scottish Hodden Grey tartan was replaced when the London Scottish regiment adopted the dress of the Scots Guards; and whether this was consistent with the undertaking in the previous defence review concerning further cap badge losses from regiments.
Under Future Soldier, the London Regiment redesignated as 1st Battalion London Guards on 1 May 2022. As part of this change, the four companies within the Regiment have adopted the name, cap badge and dress of their new affiliated Regular Regiment.
In the case of A (London Scottish) Company which redesignated as G (Messines) Company, it has become the Reserve Company of the Scots Guards and has adopted the cap badge and dress of this regiment.
Whilst there has not been a forecast of the impact on recruitment, the redesignation should provide the soldiers in G (Messines) Company with more opportunities to deploy on operations and exercises alongside their regular counterparts. Coupled with the Guards brand, it is therefore expected that there will be a positive impact on recruitment and retention.
To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they have made any forecast of the impact on the numbers of recruits to the London Scottish Regiment following the change in uniform from Highland dress to the uniform of the Scots Guards.

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what recent assessment he has made of the implications for the (a) Armed Forces Covenant and (b) security of the realm of changes in Scots Guards troop numbers.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what recent assessment he has made of the implications for the (a) Armed Forces Covenant and (b) security of the realm of changes in Scots Guards troop numbers.
The size and shape of the Armed Forces has no bearing on the Armed Forces Covenant, which is a promise from the nation that those who serve or served in the Armed Forces, and their families, face no disadvantage in accessing public and commercial goods and services as a result of their military service. It also makes special provision for those who have sacrificed the most, such as the bereaved and injured. While our Armed Forces must rebalance, evolve, and modernise to meet the threats of the future, the historical importance of the Scots Guards to the British Army is fully recognised. The Defence Secretary will set out further details related to the Defence settlement in due course.

That this House observes the 11th anniversary of the death of Belfast teenager Peter McBride on 4th September 1992; notes that the McBride family has won widespread international support for their belief that the two Scots Guards convicted and imprisoned for his murder should not have been allowed to resume their careers in Her Majesty's Armed Services on release after three years; notes the Northern Ireland High Court rejection of the 'exceptional reasons' for their retention put forward by the Army Board; notes the failure of the Ministry of Defence to respond to the adverse ruling of the court; notes the consequent damage to public confidence; welcomes the proposal of the Independent Assessor of Military Complaints procedures in Northern Ireland for 'the Army Board to initiate a final appeal panel drawn from people outside the military system, able to exercise publicly that crucial ingredient of independence and transparency which is now a requirement of good governance'; and urges the Government to establish such a body without delay.
