§ Dr. David ClarkTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to his answer of 9 February,Official Report, column 363, what plans he has to consider the introduction of performance-related pay for service personnel.
§ Mr. HanleyThe Government have asked the Armed Forces Pay Review Body and the Senior Salaries Review Body to consider whether the concept of performance pay could be applied to the armed forces. The AFPRB has174W decided to appoint management consultants to assist with its work in this area.
