Does anyone know where the policy resides for our continuing rent increases? Or is it held secretly by Civil Servants? We keep being told that our rent should be comparable with civilian comparators, but with which civilians are we being compared?
If it is public sector civilians, who are the ones that undergo moves every 2 to 3 years for the balance/mix of routine postings/regimental moves and career-progression changes of role/location?
If it is commercial sector, then they can choose where they live according to their pay and relocation schemes.
Perhaps I am overly optimistic to expect MOD is comparing like with like ...
Does anyone believe we could get to the expected bottom line of SFA rental targets through an FoI question?
