Further to the table provided to you in my letter of 7 February, the British Army regiments which have been disbanded since 2010 have been listed below.<\/p>
<\/p>
As noted in that letter, this information represents single Service estimates based on management information which is not gathered for statistical purposes or subject to the same level of scrutiny as official statistics produced by Defence Statistics. I have attached an updated table to reflect minor discrepancies in the original which were observed during further analysis.<\/p>
<\/p>
