View answerI am advised by the military authorities that the selection of personnel for overseas deployment is based on the applicant being qualified for the appointment and on meeting general criteria in terms of the nature of the mission and general suitability.
It would not be appropriate for me to comment further on the issue raised by the Deputy as the person named has invoked the Redress of Wrongs procedure in relation thereto.
