Context
The question arises from Tom Gordon's participation in the armed forces parliamentary scheme, where he observed issues affecting families of overseas workers in the armed forces.
Question
Over the past year I have had the privilege of taking part in the armed forces parliamentary scheme. One issue that arises is that families of overseas workers in the armed forces have no access to work opportunities and no specific visas or agreements with other countries where our armed forces are based, meaning they must often take pay cuts or not relocate with their partners in the forces. Will the Minister think about what we can do to support armed forces workers overseas?
Answer from The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Defence (Louise Sandher-Jones)
I have served overseas and observed this issue at first hand. Discussions with the Cabinet Office are ongoing, and I hope to update the hon. Member in due course.
