Proceeding contribution from Lord Benyon (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 29 January 2009. It occurred during Debate on Armed Forces Personnel.
Armed Forces Personnel
Does my hon. Friend agree that increased time under decompression should come off deployment rather than off the other end? If soldiers returning from operations believe that that is their own time and that it is eating into the time that they can spend with their families, they will, of course, want less. If, however, our armed forces were not quite so overstretched, we could afford them more time in decompression and they would return to their families in a better frame of mind.
