Lord Taylor of Gryfe

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they have any plans to alter the minimum period of service in the armed forces. [HL4607]

The minimum commitment period for soldiers was raised earlier this month from three to four years. There are currently no plans to amend further the minimum period of service for other Armed Forces personnel.
