Clause 5 - Amendments to Pensions Appeal Tribunals Act 1943
Armed Forces
8:55 am
Mr Gerald Howarth (Aldershot, Conservative)
I do not know whether other public sector workers are funded out of the public purse, but that is not our concern here today. Our concern is with Her Majesty's armed forces, and as we have discussed on many occasions in this Committee and on the Floor of the House, there is a strong sense in which members of the armed forces are a special case, because they put their lives on the line for their country.
