HC Deb 20 January 1994 vol 235 c819W
Mr. Redmond

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what pay enhancements are granted to aircrew operating in areas of actual or potential combat operations.

Mr. Hanley

United Kingdom service personnel are not paid danger money. However, the Xfactor which they receive throughout their careers irrespective of where they are stationed, which is currently 11.5 per cent. of basic salary, contains an element which recognises the need for them to serve on occasions under difficult and dangerous circumstances.
