A Select Committee has been appointed by the House of Commons to consider the Armed Forces Bill 2026, which would be the latest renewal for five years of the Armed Forces Act 2006. The Select Committee has invited submissions.

Please note that the MOD doesn't encourage serving personnel to submit evidence to Parliamentary inquiries except where special permission has been given for specific inquiries. BAFF members should contact us urgently if they wish a particular point to be made without being personally identified.

We are working on proposals to change the BAFF Constitution. This would mean discontinuing the formal company registration to save costs. This involves converting to an unincorporated trust, mirroring the current constitution as much as possible.
