Labour Ministers in retreat over plans to make massive cuts to TA training
Graham Evans, Parliamentary Spokesman for Weaver Vale, today welcomed Labours latest U-turn abandoning plans to make significant cuts to the Territorial Army.
On 15 October, the Government announced that weekly and monthly Territorial Army training would be cut by a massive £20 million wiping out training for tens of thousands of Territorials.

However, following pressure from Conservatives, the Labour Government has dropped the plans.
Since 2002, some 20,000 reservists have seen active service in
Graham said:
Through good times and bad, the Territorial Army has given this country a proud century of service. Thanks to Conservative pressure, Gordon Brown has been forced to abandon his damaging and ill-thought out plans to cut TA training. Common sense has prevailed.
But Gordon Browns embarrassing U-turn cannot undo the damage to morale and trust. The TA plays an important role in our community and nation, and Conservatives will always stand up in support of their invaluable work and service.
