Hi, pretty good looking list you've got there, although you may be a little light on the anti-tank. That PIAT has to get close and it probably won't last very long. Also having AT grenades on only the para squad would require them getting close as well. Working a tank such as a Cromwell in there would be good, but that would involve dropping something. Although if you know you'll be playing against infantry heavy armies, this won't be a problem.
Also, having both a light mortar and light artillery is probably a bit weak. I'd suggest upgrading one of them to medium, just so its a little stronger, and you can dish out a little more damage.

British light artillery also count as light ant-tank guns. Also decided to add a para recce jeep with twin mmg to fill the points up.

Oh right, forgive me, I've only toyed around with the Brits alittle bit so i'm not hugely familiar with them. Still, as long as you're not facing any one with a tiger tank, you'll be fine. But maybe if you later decide to bring the list up to 1200 or more points, add some sort of tank or AT gun. Also, the jeep is a good add, those mmg's will work very well for you.

After some fiddling my list has changed a little bit.

Dropping one SMG let me up to more machine guns in the form of an SAS Jeep instead of a para one. Also lets me have most of the British elite raiders in one list.
