Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what recent estimate he has made of when the independent report entitled Armed Forces’ Pay Review Body: Fifty-Third Report 2024 will be published.

The Armed Forces’ Pay Review Body’s (AFPRB) Fifty-Third Report 2024 was published on 29 July 2024.

To recognise the commitment and service of our Armed Forces personnel, HMG accepted in full the 2024 Pay Award recommendations made by the independent Armed Forces’ Pay Review Body and Senior Salaries Review Body. This year’s award provides a targeted and significant pay uplift for new recruits alongside a large headline increase of 6%.
