Government's Demobilisation Plan

David Mundell, Chief Secretary to the Treasury, delivered the Government's plan on demobilisation following consulting with a special Chamber Committee.
"Mr Speaker, as promised, I stand before the Chamber to deliver this Government's plan to bring our boys home to their families. And may I say Mr Speaker, while the Government tried, gallantly, to bring on bipartisan support for this plan, when push came to shove, no one wanted to contribute. The little input we did get has gone into consideration. There are three parts to this plan and I will be detailing all three points.
Firstly, physically bringing soldiers back to Falleen soil. There will be four 'brackets' which will categorise soldiers. To be clear, the Government acknowledges the importance of each and every soldier, but we cannot transport all soldiers at once, it simply is impossible. The first bracket, who will come home in six week, will be soldiers who have skills that will bring the economy back around, such as labouring, teaching and business; it will also include married men over forty and men with children over thirty. The second bracket, who will return once soldiers from the first bracket are home, will be soldiers who have served the longest, other married men, men with children and special soldiers with medical conditions or special circumstances. The third bracket will include soldiers over the age of thirty who were formally employed, men who have jobs to return to and soldiers who were business owners. The last bracket will be all other soldiers. Active service personnel, who choose not to retire service, shall be retrained and reorganised by military commanders. Those active personnel will receive a break of at least 2 months on a rota-based system. 
Secondly, reconstituting them into the economy. The Government will be setting up Civil Rehabilitation Centres and, when legislation is passed, issue Domestic Credit Relief. These centres will give advice and help on employment, housing, societal reintroduction and medical help. The Government will be supporting former soldiers getting back into work.
And finally, decommissioning military equipment. Equipment which can be used by the economy, things such as clothing, motor vehicles, essentials like food and gas, will be released for public and private use. Equipment which cannot be used in the public good, such as jetcraft or armoured vehicles, will be decommissioned gradually and either put in reserve or released to the Defence Department to sort.
Mr Speaker, this plan is practical and works in the benefit of the soldiers who will be returning home soon. As said, we tried to work with all parties to garner the best plan, but I was disappointed with the effort of some members. I look forward to legislation relating to this being swiftly passed."
