Debated in Parliament on 1 Oct 2018.
Mr Leon Perera asked the Minister for Defence (a) whether the figure of 80% of applications approved for Term Financial Assistance (TFA) for NSFs refers only to the applications supported by commanders; and (b) if so, what percentage of applications by NSFs for TFA were not supported by their commanders in the past five years.
Eighty per cent of all applications for Term Financial Assistance were approved and include applications that were not supported by the commanders.
