THE FUTURE OF THE SCOTTISH REGIMENTS

Early day motion 159, tabled 24 November 2004 by Iain Luke (Labour). Signed by 7 members.

That this House notes that no formal decision as to the future configuration of the Scottish Regiments within the British Army has been taken; welcomes the proposals by the Keep our Scottish Battalions campaign to link the Scottish regiments in a brigade structure in Scotland safeguarding as a result their individual identities, histories and traditions; and urges the Army Board, General Jackson and the Government to abandon their intentions to submerge the current regimental setup in a new Royal Regiment of Scotland super regiment.

Signatures by party: Labour 5, Conservative 1, Labour/Co-operative 1.
