The process is currently under way and I expect that it will take approximately eight weeks. We may not have a final decision at this stage but I hope that in eight weeks' time we will have some form of decision, as I know that this is a matter of concern both for the officers concerned and their families, as we are rapidly approaching early 2015, when they are due to be discharged. I hope that the Department, the military authorities and PDFORRA can work together in the conciliation process.
