§ Earl Attleeasked Her Majesty's Government:
How many cases since 1996 have come before a reinstatement committee established under the Reserve Forces (Safeguard of Employment) Act 1985 in consequence of compulsory mobilisation of Reserve Forces. [HL171]
§ The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Ministry of Defence (Lord Bach)Since February 2003 we are aware of a total of 23 applications made under the Reserve Forces (Safeguard of Employment) Act 1985, of which eight have come before a reinstatement committee. Due to the very low number of applications made prior to that date, the information was not held centrally and could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
