THE FUTURE OF THE SCOTTISH REGIMENTS

Motion Text

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.
