HC Deb 25 May 1978 vol 950 cc672-3W
Mrs. Winifred Ewing

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will appoint two additional members of the pay review board from the spouses of serving Service persons, in view of their familiarity with the day-to-day economic problems of Service life.

Mr. Mulley

My right hon. Friend the Prime Minister appoints members to the Armed Forces Pay Review Body.

The hon. Member will know, however, that members of the Review Body, in their visits to units, already take every opportunity to talk with Services families as well as with Service personnel, and are therefore familiar with the situation.
