The MoD Group Conference has just ended in Brighton. A successful day and a half saw all three of your delegates speak on motions submitted by the branch and with contributions on the motions of other branch's. (The photo shows Chris Senior moving motion A30 on Stress Risk Assessments.)Veterans Agency Branch had all of its motions heard and all carried except for motion A38 that refered to suspension in disciplinary cases. This motion was asked to be remitted to the GEC as the prescriptive element in the motion referring to a cap of 3 months was thought to be potentially problematic. To avoid throwing the baby out with the bathwater your delegates accepted remission of the motion.
Otherwise conference proceeded to hear all of the submitted motions this year including two emergency motions. Only two motions, A5 from Scotland West and A25 from Portsmouth Area failed to find support of conference.
The National Delegates Conference begins tomorrow.
