Pensions Appeal Tribunals (Armed Forces and Reserve Forces Compensation Scheme) (Rights of Appeal) Amendment Regulations 2006

I thank the Minister for explaining the regulations. They are essentially a tidying-up exercise and should have been dealt with at the time of the original legislation. It makes me worry how much secondary legislation we will receive after the Armed Forces Bill becomes an Act. My honourable friend Mark Harper raised our concerns over the compensation tariff for mental health, as opposed to physical injury, in some detail in the other place. I will not raise them again this afternoon but, other than those concerns, the regulations appear not to be controversial and to make perfect sense.
