HC Deb 19 December 2003 vol 416 c34W
Mr. Rosindell

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what percentage of members of the Territorial Army have been paid on time in each of the last 12 months. [144683]

Mr. Caplin

Although a percentage figure is not held, the vast majority of Territorial Army personnel have been paid on time during the last 12 months. We are aware, however, that a small number of personnel mobilised during the early stages of recent operations in Iraq did experience delays in receiving the correct pay and allowances.
