Service Personnel Travelling Time

EDM number 1865 in 2008-09, proposed by Angus Robertson on 13/07/2009.
Categorised under the topic of Armed forces.

That this House notes that the Ministry of Defence currently counts travel time to and from service areas as part of forces personnel's well-deserved vacations; believes that servicemen and women who risk their lives for their country should be afforded full vacations excluding time in transit and therefore allowing them to have more contact with family and friends; and calls on the Government to make the necessary changes as soon as is practically possible.

This motion has been signed by a total of 33 MPs.
