Paratroopers Hit By Pay Cut On Return From Afghanistan
Telegraph, 25 May 2011
Army chiefs have decided to end a supplement paid to each member of the regiment for parachuting. It is worth more than £2,000 a year.
The MoD is struggling with an estimated £1 billion shortfall in its budget for the current financial year. Cutting the so-called Para Pay bonus will save more than £4 million a year.
