The Armed Forces (Leave) Bill would change how leave is calculated for members of the armed forces who are serving overseas, so that leave entitlement starts from the moment they arrive back in the United Kingdom. This means leave time would be counted from UK return rather than while the personnel are deployed overseas. The Bill also allows for related, additional measures to be made under its provisions.
The Bill had its first reading in the Commons on 5 July 2010 and is currently at the second reading in the Commons, i.e., it has not yet progressed to committee stage.
