To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment his Department has made of the potential merits of extending pension entitlements to Army reservists who were excluded from the Armed Forces Pension Scheme between July 2000 and March 2015.

Answer

Following legal advice, the Ministry of Defence has lodged an appeal against the Milroy employment tribunal ruling. We are unable to comment further on the payment of military reservist pensions for pre-2015 service whilst the appeal is ongoing.
