Bernard Allen
Question:818 Mr. Allen asked the Minister for Defence further to Parliamentary Question No. 239 on 14 June 2006, if his attention has been drawn to the difficulties arising for RDF officers assigned on 1 October 2006 to nominal appointments which are located substantive distances from their home addresses; if his further attention has been drawn to the fact that many of the gazetted staff appointments are not operational in the normal training environment; and if his further attention has been drawn to the fact that the new POCAR regulations do not provide for the reality of the situation in which many officers find themselves due to the changes in the location of the appointments rather than the individuals and, therefore, they have not been reimbursed for mileage incurred completing military duties.
