HC Deb 19 June 1980 vol 986 c642W
Mr. Stephen Ross

asked the Secretary of State for Defence whether any consideration has been given to the introduction of a pension scheme for long service within the Territorial Army.

Mr. Hayhoe

Permanent members of the Territorial Army, whether Regular or non-Regular, are already on pensionable engagements, but it would be quite inappropriate to make part-time voluntary service pensionable.
