Ministry of Defence

Question: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how compulsory mobilisation of the Territorial Army affects eligibility for annual training bounty; whether the Territorial Army's annual training bounty is payable in the respect of compulsory mobilisation service.

Answer: Mr. Gray: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence (1) how compulsory mobilisation of the Territorial Army affects eligibility for annual training bounty; [149281] (2) whether the Territorial Army's annual training bounty is payable in the respect of compulsory mobilisation service. [149282] Mr. Caplin: While compulsory mobilisation does not in itself qualify members of the Territorial Army for their annual training bounty, certain aspects of that service can contribute towards the award. For example, mobilised service in theatre can be considered as meeting the requirement for a 15-day camp (or training in lieu).
