Yesterday, I expressed relief that subsidised accommodation would be retained under the New Employment Model (NEM), but pondered at what cost. Today, Chief of Defence Personnel, Lieutenant General Andrew Gregory, has replied:

I am sure that Servicemen are relieved to hear that the MoD will continue to provide subsidised accommodation to those with a need for it, but the killer question will be at what cost?

In the second of five articles from the New Employment Model (NEM) team, Chief of Defence Personnel, Lieutenant General Andrew Gregory attempts to reassure us that the NEM proposals will not dramatically reduce the 'offer'.

Across the Services, we have witnessed what can be likened to a death of a thousand cuts in terms of not only our pay, but also our allowances. In comparison to other public sector employees, the Ministry of Defence must be delighted that there is no single unified voice to speak out in our interest.
