Oral Answers to Questions

Carol Monaghan Excerpts

Monday 18th February 2019 Commons Chamber

[Mark Lancaster]

I refer my hon. Friend to the Royal Air Force advert that aired this week, which almost exclusively featured women, as a clear demonstration that not a single role in the RAF, or, now, in the other services, is not open to them

[Carol Monaghan (Glasgow North West) (SNP)]

We have heard this afternoon about Capita’s abject failure in recruitment. While we are haemorrhaging personnel, there are clearly issues in the armed forces that have to be addressed, so will the Secretary of State support the Bill from my hon. Friend the Member for West Dunbartonshire (Martin Docherty-Hughes), which will be heard on 8 March, to give personnel a voice, through an armed forces representative body with a statutory footing?

[Mark Lancaster]

I refer the hon. Lady to the answer I gave a few moments ago.
