§ Mr. SpellerTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will seek powers to exempt RAF personnel who are posted, without families, to Scotland for less than six months from paying the community charge.
§ Mr. NeubertI do not anticipate that married service personnel serving unaccompanied in Scotland for periods of less than six months, while retaining a family home elsewhere, will be regarded as having their sole or main residence in Scotland. They will therefore not be liable to pay the personal community charge there.
