Around 400 army veterans march along Whitehall and past Parliament in protest at the decision to axe a battalion of the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers (RRF) in London Britain 18 October 2012. MPs are set to call on the Government to reconsider the decision, which critics claim was motivated by a "political fix" rather than an assessment by defence chiefs. In a Commons debate, ministers will be accused of axing the battalion under the Army cuts programme in order to avoid scrapping Scottish units ahead of the 2014 referendum on independence.
