Backbench Business — 2nd Battalion the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers — 18 Oct 2012 at 14:59
The majority of MPs voted to oppose the disbandment of the 2nd Battalion, the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers (2RRF).
The motion approved by the majority of those MPs voting was:
- That this House
- opposes the disbandment of the 2nd Battalion, the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers (2RRF);
- notes that 2RRF is the only infantry battalion being cut that was not initially due for disbandment on military grounds;
- further notes that 2RRF was instead caught by the Government’s additional criteria of only one battalion loss per regiment and no deletion of cap-badges, which has resulted in more poorly-recruited Scottish battalions being saved;
- further notes the social and economic costs of disbandment;
and urges the Government to reverse its decision.
