I join those who spoke today about the inaugural missing persons day. I wish everybody involved the very best and congratulate them. It is a fantastic and very considerate initiative. I apologise for my not having been able to attend the function; I conveyed my apologies. I am a member of two committees so I am busy.

I support the Supplementary Estimate. I have been contacted by a number of people who really want to remain in the Army but who must leave at a young age because the 25-year period specified in their contracts has expired. Has that been addressed already?
