My question is to the Minister for Defence. Will the Minister for Defence confirm that he told this House on 25 February that not one special forces soldier has been financially disadvantaged by the SAS pay debacle, and I quote:

No special forces soldier in this country has a debt against his name because of the way in which Defence has implemented the Defence Force Remuneration Tribunal’s decision—end of story.

Does the minister stand by his statement?
