“This Labour Government are committed to renewing the contract with those who serve, and our commitment is reflected in our actions. That is why we have given our Armed Forces the largest pay rise in 20 years; committed to invest £9 billion to fix forces homes; scrapped 100 out-of-date medical policies for entry standards; and created novel ways of entry, including our new gap year scheme and a cyber direct entry pathway, with its first cohort graduating in November. It is also why, at Christmas, this Government funded travel for up to 35,000 service personnel to be with their families over the festive period.
