Comment from UUP MLA David Burnside on MoD Civilian Package
Responding to today’s announcement of a government package for Ministry of Defence civilian staff which includes a bonus payment, UUP Defence spokesman David Burnside MLA said,
“We will be examining the detail of this announcement over coming days. I do however welcome the bonus payment which appears to be an addition.
While no amount of money can ever be a suitable replacement for people who have lost their jobs I do welcome government efforts to soften the blow and treat people in a fair and equitable manner.”
