	Science Fair Projects - Royal Regiment of Scotland
		The Royal Regiment of Scotland is the projected Scottish infantry regiment of the British Army under the forthcoming sweeping reorganisation of the infantry, and will become operational by 2008.
		As part of restructuring in the British Army, the Royal Regiment of Scotland's creation was announced by the Secretary of State for Defence Geoff Hoon in the House of Commons on 16 December 2004, after the merger of several regiments was outlined in a defence white paper several months earlier.
		The regiment will consist of a total of five battalions: one of these will be formed by the amalgamation of the Royal Scots and King's Own Scottish Borderers, while the others will each be formed from one of the remaining Scottish regiments.

		Royal Regiment of Scotland (and England, and Germany...)
		The Royal Regiment of Scotland (RRS) was always going to be a hard sell, especially for those who value the geographical ties and traditions attaching to the six historic Scottish regiments that were to be subsumed into it.
		The scottish regiments are rightly proud of their past, they do not join the army, they join a regiment, a familly to just wipe all that out is a sin.

		To ask the Secretary of State for Defence whether the future Royal Regiment of Scotland will be able to maintain the establishment for five battalions under present recruiting levels.
		The ability to man the five battalions of the Royal Regiment of Scotland will depend on a number of factors.
		However, assuming that the establishment of the future battalions remains broadly similar to current levels and a return to the recruiting levels achieved in recent years, levels of enlistment to the Royal Regiment of Scotland should be sufficient to sustain five battalions.
