Armed Forces: Compensation
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will estimate the cost to the public purse of uprating the military compensation of injured veterans by whichever is the higher of earnings, inflation or 2.5 per cent.
- Answer
-
We have not undertaken any formal estimates on uprating the military compensation of injured veterans by whichever is the higher of earnings, inflation or 2.5 per cent. Our approach, increasing awards with reference to the Consumer Price Index, is in line with other public sector schemes, and consistent with the measure of inflation used by the Bank of England.
