§ Sir Michael MarshallTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence what representations he has received regarding unfavourable comparisons of pay and conditions as between British and other forces currently serving in UNPROFOR in Bosnia and other parts of former Yugoslavia; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. HanleyMy Department has received a considerable number of representations on this subject, based largely on misinformation and misunderstanding.
The full position on the pay of British troops serving with UNPROFOR was set out in my answer to the hon. Member for Pembroke (Mr. Ainger) on 7 February, Official Report, column 112.
