§ 41. Mr. KirkwoodTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he has any plans to introduce changes in the terms and conditions upon which members of the armed services serve in Northern Ireland.
§ Mr. NeubertSDE 89 explained that it is the Government's aim to ensure that terms and conditions of service remain relevant to modern conditions. Against this objective, terms and conditions of service, including those relevant to Northern Ireland, are kept under review. However, I am able to offer an assurance that there are no plans to remove the existing waivers of food and accommodation charges which apply in Northern Ireland.
