Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to page 17 of the National Security Capability Review, when his Department plans to bring forward proposals for changes to the compensation paid to (a) injured personnel and (b) families of those killed on operations.
The Ministry of Defence consulted publicly on its proposals to introduce better combat compensation for those injured, and the families of those killed, in combat operations through its 'Better Combat Compensation' consultation. The Department is considering all contributions to that consultation carefully and will publish a response in due course.
