Armed Forces: Family Life

Lord Harris of Haringey Excerpts

Monday 19th January 2015 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Jolly]

More ships and aircraft are not in my brief, but families are. Long operational deployments attract additional leave, allowing servicepeople to spend time with their families.

[Lord Harris of Haringey (Lab)]

Could the Minister tell us whether the same provisions apply to commissioned officers as apply to ordinary soldiers?

[Baroness Jolly]

They do.
