Commons ChamberThe hon. Lady is quite right: service personnel can be disadvantaged in many ways by the many moves that they make.

Unfortunately, I left before that matter came up on the agenda in order to come to the House, but I can assure the hon. Lady that we are looking at the issue very carefully and we did have that conference this lunchtime.
