Mr. Neil Richardson:

At the moment the upper age limit for somebody with no previous military service is 39. With prior military service in the Permanent Defence Force or in the Reserve, it is 45. Even those upper age limits are currently being investigated for raising on the grounds that some specialists will take decades to become technical experts in their field. If they are in their late 40s or 50s then so what if they are going to be used in a particular cyber, medical or engineering sphere, or whatever it might be. All of that is on the table for discussion at present. That is our understanding.
