UK forces serving in Afghanistan and Iraq are to receive cash bonuses to pay off their tax bill, Defence Secretary Des Browne is set to announce.
BBC Political Editor Nick Robinson says it follows a campaign to stop soldiers paying tax on their earnings - something that American GIs do not do.

Whitehall sources say this follows an agreement between Mr Browne and Chancellor Gordon Brown.

Mr Browne is set to make the announcement in the Commons on Tuesday.
