At the same time, the independent Senior Salaries Review Body (SSRB) recommended a 3.5% award to the most senior officers at two-Star rank and above. All these recommendations were accepted in full. Evidence for this year has been provided to both the AFPRB and SSRB and we are awaiting their 2023 reports.</p><p> </p><p>In determining their recommendations, the pay review bodies operate within their respective remits. For the AFPRB, this explicitly includes comparative assessments with other workforces as part of their consideration of the need for the pay of the Armed Forces to be broadly comparable with pay levels in civilian life.</p> answering member constituency South West Wiltshire answering member printed Dr Andrew Murrison question first answered 29/03/2023 13:00:00 answering member 1466 label Biography information for Dr Andrew Murrison
