2011 Appropriation Accounts of the Comptroller and Auditor General
Vote 36: Defence - Review of Allowances

Mr. Brian O'Keeffe:

The difficulty with allowances from our point of view is that generally they are not pensionable and there is no long-term benefit for the members. That is changing in the new pension scheme for new entrants.
