Conscience

The Defence Select Committee has recommended that the Ministry of Defence conducts further reserch into female personnel, early Service leavers and recruits under 18 to "determine the extent to which they are at higher risk of developing mental health conditions."

One hundred years after the British Government was the first in the world to legalise the right of conscientious objection to military service, a Bill to extend this right into the tax system is being introduced to Parliament by Ruth Cadbury MP, herself a descendent of WW1 conscientious objectors affected by the 1916 clause.
