HC Deb 16 December 1983 vol 50 c591W
Mr. Austin Mitchell

asked the Secretary of State for Defence why the pay and allowances, and so on, of personnel in the Territorial Army and Volunteer Reserve transport regiments is some 12 times higher than in the Regular unit.

Mr. Stanley

It is not.

Mr. Austin Mitchell

asked the Secretary of State for Defence why the pay and allowances per head in Army transport units in the United Kingdom is higher than in the British Army of the Rhine.

Mr. Stanley

The pay of service men and civilians in army transport units is the same whether they are based in the United Kingdom or in Germany. The allowances paid in Germany are the normal allowances payable to those serving in BAOR.
