HL Deb 23 June 1999 vol 602 cc89-90WA
The Earl of Carlisle

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they are reviewing the salaries and conditions of service of the retired officers (ROs) serving in the armed forces with a view to raising them from their current level. [HL2972]

Lord Burlison

Members of the Retired Officer Group are former military officers who have been re-employed as MoD civil servants in posts that require specific military experience. Their salaries are subject to annual negotiation between the department and the Retired Officers Association. The requirement for retired officers and their conditions of service generally are kept under regular review. One such periodic review is currently underway.
