I just have a follow-up question to that. Since ours are required to pay for their married quarters, you can't possibly tell me you're going to bring in diggers and commanding officers from overseas and not make them pay what our own are paying. You cannot be serious about that this morning. Please tell me: if they are renting something, if that is how it's going to go, is it going to be paid for? Can you imagine our diggers going, 'Look at these buggers from overseas here, getting free accommodation while we're paying for it.' Come on.
