National service explained: Rishi Sunak unveils Conservative election plan

It is likely there would be some sort of reimbursement for the military stream, given it would be a year long.

But the Conservatives have not confirmed this, or said how much it would be.

In 2019, a report, external by the Royal United Services Institute think tank pointed out how other European countries with similar schemes – such as Norway and Finland – pay participants expenses or a stipend, though at a rate well below a normal salary.

The report also noted minimum wage laws do not apply to the armed forces but said compensation for a UK scheme would have to be at a level “deemed respectful to the participants”.

It is also not known whether other incentives would be provided – such as future support with education costs – for completing the military training.

For the majority of people taking part in community work, it seems unlikely there would be any sort of reimbursement.

All of this would be decided by the inquiry set up after the election.
