My question relates to the so-called post-1994 contract within the Permanent Defence Force. Currently, all privates and corporals recruited post 1994 can continue in service only to the end of December of next year or until they reach the age of 50. Sergeants must retire at the end of next year. I understand there is a review within the Minister's Department on this matter. I would like the Minister to set out clearly today what his policy is on this issue.
