Defence officials have been called on to urgently investigate claims that fear of redundancy is deterring armed forces personnel from making complaints about genuine grievances.
MPs said it was unacceptable that service men and women were shying away from taking action because they were afraid of the consequences of making a complaint.
The Commons Defence Committee said it was "concerned and disappointed" that personnel do not always have the confidence to pursue complaints through their chain of command.
