Defence Pay Rise Raises costs and housing plan for forces
The statement outlines a £10 million rise in defence pay for major generals and brigadiers with pay up to £5,625 and £4,785 respectively starting June 25 1964. It also details a government housing programme for 3,700 regular force families across Australia, funded at about £14.5 million to be completed within three years, plus reserve forces expansion and tax exemptions for citizen soldiers. A new plan replaces Voyager with two Australian type 12 frigates, and confirms Canberra replacement timelines and Mirage missiles for the RAAF with a £10 million budget to equip Matra R530 missiles.
