ARMED FORCES PAY REVIEW FORTY-FIFTH REPORT

Early day motion 1312, tabled 23 March 2016 by Kirsten Oswald (Scottish National Party). Signed by 28 members.

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.
