Proceeding contribution from Jeffrey M Donaldson (Democratic Unionist Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 12 December 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Afghanistan.
Afghanistan
Early in the new year, the 1st Battalion the Royal Irish Regiment, supplemented by Territorial soldiers from the 2nd Battalion, will leave for a tour of duty in Afghanistan. The Prime Minister has heard from the Leader of the Opposition about problems with pay. Many of those Territorial Army soldiers transferred from the now-disbanded home service battalions, yet several months after their transfer they are not receiving the proper pay. Will the Prime Minister assure me that before those soldiers leave their families to serve this country with pride in Afghanistan, they will be paid properly?
