ARMED FORCES PAY REVIEW FORTY-FIFTH REPORT

Motion Text

That this House acknowledges the Armed Forces Pay Review Body Forty-Fifth Report, published on 8 March 2016; notes that it stated that many personnel appear to have lost trust in their employer and that levels of morale appear to have declined further over the past year; calls on the Government to reconsider the one per cent freeze on Armed Forces pay, a measure that will result in a real-terms pay cut for serving personnel; and expresses concern that Scotland has a historic low in Armed Forces personnel numbers.
