PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
ARMED FORCES PAY (13 September 2017)
Motion Details
That this House notes that the pay of Armed Forces personnel has been capped at one per cent in 2017-18 and that this represents another below-inflation pay settlement; further notes that the size of the Army, Royal Air Force and Royal Navy and Royal Marines is below stated targets; notes that dissatisfaction with pay has been identified by service personnel as a reason for leaving their respective force; and calls on the Government to end the public sector pay cap for the Armed Forces and give Armed Forces personnel a fair pay rise.
