Proceeding contribution from Liam Fox (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 10 January 2008. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Armed Forces Personnel.


Armed Forces Personnel

As I have made clear, I believe that our armed forces are in a unique position. If the Government decide not to implement in full the independent review body's recommendations, it is only fair to ask the Secretary of State to come to the House of Commons and explain why. Armed forces pay is very important when it comes to improving recruitment and retention, and the House would be entitled to a full explanation if the Government decide to do something different from what is recommended by the independent review body.
