Written question asked by Lord Hanningfield (Conservative), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Lord Drayson (Labour) on Thursday, 15 June 2006.
Iraq: Military Casualties
- Question
- For each case, how the level of financial compensation received by dependants of Commonwealth service personnel serving in the British Armed Forces and killed by hostile action while on active service in the current conflict in Iraq compared with the average level received by dependants of British service personnel killed in the conflict.
- Answer
-
I refer the noble Lord to my Answer of 5 June 2006 (Official Report, cols. WA 154–55) which set out the arrangements in the Armed Forces Pension and Compensation Schemes. The same rules are used for the surviving dependants of both British and Commonwealth service personnel when calculating appropriate rates of benefits payable under the Armed Forces Pension Scheme 1975, War Pension Scheme and Armed Forces Compensation Scheme.
