The question

To ask the Prime Minister, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of inviting the Minister for Veterans’ Affairs to Cabinet.

Answered by Sir Keir Starmer

My Rt Hon Friend the Defence Secretary represents veterans at Cabinet. He is supported by my Hon Friend the Member for Birmingham Selly Oak, a former distinguished Royal Marine Officer, whose appointment as Minister for Veterans and People reflects this Government’s commitment to delivering for veterans alongside the wider Defence community. This Government will work to ensure veterans and their families get access to the health, housing, employment and other support they need.
