Thank you again, DV.

The Lord Cullen Inquiry does seem to have been a missed opportunity, not least by the Inquiry itself. The notice of the inquiry was very insistent that the investigation of the deaths of servicemen and women overseas was a subject of discussion between the UK and Scottish governments, and not a matter for the Inquiry.

It does seem very odd that the deaths of servicemen and women in Scotland were not specifically mentioned at all.

But I note the references to "occupation" in general.

I expect you are already aware of (indeed you may have mentioned it yourself) a case in which the MoD rather hypocritically tried to argue, because it suited them, that servicemen and women were "employees" after all:
