Darlington has a long and proud history of service in the armed forces, particularly the TA. I commend the Minister for his prior service, but as he will have picked up, there is a lot of concern in the House about levels of recruitment to the TA. Can he help us by identifying exactly what level of recruitment to the TA is required and how far we are from achieving it?
