TERRITORIAL ARMY TRAINING CUTS

Early day motion 2067, tabled 15 October 2009 by Liam Fox (Conservative). Signed by 93 members.

That this House salutes the service of members of the Territorial Army (TA); deplores the freezing of TA training; notes the adverse impact this will have on generic war fighting capability, morale, recruitment and retention; further notes that the measure conflicts with the Cottam Strategic Review of Reserves published in April 2009 which the Government accepted in full; and calls on the Government to reverse its decision immediately.
