ARMY CADET FORCE

Early day motion 375, tabled 7 December 2009 by Angus Robertson (Scottish National Party). Signed by 31 members.

That this House expresses concern at UK Government plans to cut the Army Cadet Force budget by £4 million; believes that the army cadets are the soldiers of tomorrow and these short-sighted cuts risk the future of an organisation which has given young people a taste of military discipline and leadership for nearly 150 years; notes the UK Government's turnaround on residency rights for the Gurkhas and planned cuts to the Territorial Army; and now calls for Ministers to abandon proposed cuts to the Army Cadet Force.
