Northern Ireland Troubles Bill: Armed Forces Recruitment and Retention

Contribution

There has been no impact on our special forces recruitment. The SAS is the tip of the spear, one of the best regiments in the world. It will continue to be so, and I have no doubt that it will continue to attract the very best of our armed forces to join and serve in its ranks.
