HC Deb 12 January 1993 vol 216 c704W
16. Mr. Enright

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what assessment he has made of the effect the armed forces pay increase announced in the autumn statement will have on morale.

Mr. Archie Hamilton

The Government's policy on pay restraint applies across the public sector without exception. Service personnel recognise that they must play their part, along with other public sector workers, in keeping public expenditure under control and contributing to economic recovery.
