Interesting story and implies the MoD have learnt nothing since the McLoud judgement made very clear that you cannot discriminate on age, albeit that centred on pensions. Of course, the very easy fix is to charge everyone who lives in SLA the same monthly rent, regardless of age, marital class, colour or gender etc. This could fix the problem for the future but might add a few more very experienced personnel to the list of those who have just had enough and can’t get out of their particular service quick enough. One to watch though……
