Paul Keetch MP, Liberal Democrat Shadow Defence Secretary, commenting on the publication of the Armed Force's Pay Review Body's report for 2003, said:

"At last the MoD has shown some imagination in retaining personnel. But our Armed Forces are not merely short of Signals, Submarine and Air crews - undermanning is a problem across the board."

"These bonuses should be extended to other units in order to retain valued personnel."
