Proceeding contribution from Angela Watkinson (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 26 February 2007. It occurred during Opposition day on Royal Navy.


Royal Navy

Does my hon. Friend agree that the policy of freezing promotion for lieutenants in the Royal Navy will have an adverse effect on recruitment because new recruits at Dartmouth will not be able to see a clear career path? Furthermore, officers who have already served as lieutenants for a considerable time and who would normally expect to be promoted will now find that their career has hit the buffers so they may even consider retiring from the Navy. The policy will therefore affect retention as well. What does my hon. Friend think about that?
