PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
TERRITORIAL ARMY TRAINING CUTS (14 October 2009)
Motion Details
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.
