Proceeding contribution from Ann Winterton (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 1 April 2008. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Territorial Army.


Territorial Army

Does my hon. Friend recall that General Dannatt has said that we now have one Army, which encompasses the Territorial Army and the regulars, so does he agree that if there is one Army, TA recruits should be treated the same as the regulars—for example, as far as insurance protection while on active duty is concerned? At the moment, TA members have to pay a third more than regulars and receive a third less benefits. Surely they should have equal treatment?
